The National Monuments Service's description
In rough upland pasture, located on a small terrace backed to S by a rocky rise, on the lower N facing slope of a rocky ridge, overlooking an expanse of boggy ground which stretches N from the base of the ridge. This is one of a cluster of booley huts (MA096-034001- to MA096-034010-) associated with a field system (MA096-034----).
This booley hut consists of a circular area (int. diam. c. 2m) defined by a low drystone wall (Wth 0.8m; H 0.2-0.3m). A gap (Wth 0.4m) at NW may be an entrance. It is conjoined at SW with a possible annex consisting of subcircular space (diam. c. 3m) roughly defined by a gapped setting of low stones.
