In rough pasture, on a W-facing rocky slope, overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. The remains of a rectangular hut site (2.85m E-W; 2m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed wall (T 0.7m; H 0.9m) of stone and clay mortar. There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) in the NE corner. This hut site abuts a field boundary at S.
