The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of Gullaba Hill. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4m NE-SW; 2.5m SE-NW) defined by a drystone wall (T c. 0.7m; H c. 0.5m) which externally abuts the NE arc of an enclosure (KE094-027----). There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) in the S wall. Loose stones are scattered within the interior and outside the E and S walls of the hut site. The interior and the external perimeter of the hut site is overgrown with ferns. The surrounding area has recently been planted with trees. There is a burnt spread (KE094-027003-) c. 40m to the NE and a standing stone (KE094-050----) c. 70m to the E.
