The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-clad hill pasture, on a break on a S-facing slope to the W of The Paps of Dana. The remains of a circular hut (diam. 2.4m) defined by a drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.6m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The hut is best preserved E-S, where large stones are visible in the lower course. The N portion of the interior is cut (D 0.5m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Rubble is scattered downslope. Another hut site (KE076-006001-) is c. 5m to the WSW. An enclosure (KE076-006----) is c. 40m to the N and there is a relict field wall (KE076-006005-) c. 150m to the NNE.
