In rough grazing, on the lower NE-facing slopes of Coomreagh Mountain. A circular corbelled hut site (1.6m E-W; 1.5m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed, well-constructed, drystone wall (T 0.9m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.3m). There is a lintelled entrance (Wth 0.55m; H 0.7m) at NNW. Rubble is scattered in the interior and around the perimeter. Another hut site (KE071-066002-) lies c. 2m to the NNE.
