The National Monuments Service's description
This possible monument was noted during a programme of archaeological testing undertaken with respect to Barnastooka Wind Farm in 2010 (Cummins, 2010). The foundations of this sub‐circular hut site were identified on a level terrace on the south facing slope. It comprises a collapsed wall measuring up to 1.5m in thickness and enclosed an internal area measuring 1.6m north‐south by 2m east‐west. A 1m wide gap in the east wall appears to form the entrance.
