Within the W sector of an enclosure (KE109-092006-). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.5m) defined by a drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.3-0.4m). The basal stones in the wall protrude above the thin bog cover and are partly grassed over. There is an entrance (Wth 0.7m) at SE. Another hut site (KE109-092002-) abuts this hut site at SW.
