The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of cut-away bog, which is covered with a dense growth of heather, on the lower N-facing slopes of The Paps of Dana. The remains of an oval hut (1.6m E-W; 1.5m N-S) defined by a roughly constructed drystone wall (H 0.6m; T 0.8m) which is best preserved along the W arc. The interior is obscured by rubble from the collapsed upper courses.
