The National Monuments Service's description
Hut site (int. diams. 6.5m E-W, 6m N-S) in SSE of interior of ringfort (LH005-037001-), slightly removed from the enclosing bank. The walls are of earth and stone (Wth c. 1m, H c. 0.5-0.6m) and there is a possible entrance gap at the SSE. It has been modified in recent times to make a booley hut.
