The National Monuments Service's description
There were two hut-sites inside the inner enclosure of hilltop enclosure (MO030-018001-), and three in the outer but some of these have been damaged since 1967. A hut-site was noted inside the NW angle of the outer enclosure in 1967, but it is now visible as a sunken, grass-covered platform (dims 6.8m NNE-SSW; 4.8m WNW-ESE) defined the scarped sides of the hilltop enclosure at W and N and by a scarp down to the interior (Wth 1.3m; H 0.4m) at S and a slight bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.1m) on the E side.
