The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on undulating moorland in the valley of the Roughty River and within a network of relict field walls (KE076-018----). The remains of a D-shaped hut (2.3m SE-NW) defined by a partially gorse-covered, curving stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) with a straight SE side (L 4m NE-SW) formed by a relict linear field wall from the network. Loose stones are scattered around the hut, both internally and externally.
