The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-covered hill pasture in cutaway bog, on an elevation on the lower N-facing slopes of the East Pap of Dana and within a network of relict field walls (KE068-126001-). The remains of an oval hut (5.3m E-W; 4m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.45m). The lower courses protrude above the surface of the bog. Another hut site (KE068-126003-) lies c. 50m to the S. (Coyne 2000)
