The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, at the S edge of a level break on a S-facing slope. The remains of a rectangular hut (7.7m N-S; 3.2m E-W) defined by a partly collapsed, roughly-built drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 1.6m) which survives best at N and S. The level interior is heavily overgrown with ferns. There is an entrance (Wth 0.8m) in the centre of the W wall. The walls are covered in moss and are partly grassed over. There is an enclosure (KE084-059001-) c. 30m to the ENE and a hut site (KE084-059003-) c. 45m to the W.
