The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a gentle E-facing slope down to the dry headwaters of a NE-SW stream. It was first identified by Kytmannow as a hut-site in Area E, a cluster of six house sites within c. 10-70m of each other. This is a grass-covered rectangular area (ext. dims 5.6m NW-SE; 3.8m NE-SW; int. dims 4.4m NW-SE; 2.5m NE-SW) defined by a grass-covered earth and stone wall, but an entrance is not identified.
