The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. The remains of an oval hut (3.6m E-W; 2.2m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m). The interior is level. There is rubble scattered along the perimeter. Three other hut sites (KE076-040002-, KE076-040007-, KE076-040008-) are c. 50m to the W.
