The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.2m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) with an opening (Wth 0.3m) at SE. The N portion of the interior is cut into the upslope. Loose stones scattered within the interior. A relict wall from the field wall network adjoins the hut site at N. Another hut site (KE085-035003-) adjoins the hut site at W.
