The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, heather-clad pasture, broken by rock outcrops, on a SW-facing slope. The remains of a D-shaped hut (3.8m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.8m) with a straight SE side (L 2.5m NE-SW). The wall is collapsed and gapped along the SE side. There are wide gaps in the NE wall. An internal dividing wall abuts the NE arc internally and extends to the SW for a short distance. The function of this dividing wall is unclear.
