The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, with occasional rock outcrops and surface boulders and with views SE to the valley of the Flesk River. The poorly preserved remains of a circular hut (diam. 3m) visible as a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.6m) which is partially obscured by grass and ferns. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.2m) to compensate for the hillslope. The level interior is strewn with rubble. There is another hut site (KE075-056002-) c. 10m to the N.
