The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope and externally abutting the S wall of an enclosure (KE076-001----). The remains of a D-shaped hut (3.6m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.3m) and by a straight N side (L 3.8m N-S) formed by the S wall of the enclosure. The base stones, which protrude above the surface of the bog, are mostly obscured by a dense heather cover. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.3m) to compensate for hillslope. The interior is covered with heather.
