The National Monuments Service's description

Not listed in either the SMR (1989) or RMP (1995). Not marked on the 1837 or 1913 editions of the OS 6-inch map. On slight SE-facing slope in rocky mountain pasture. Views are excellent SE-S-SW but elsewhere obscured somewhat by higher ground. This is the first of a series of three huts or small houses (SL009-066001-; SL009-066002-; SL009-066003-) situated to the N of a relic field (SL009-003001-) and booley hut (SL009-003002-). Small rectangular house or hut (dims. 6.55m NE-SW; 4.3m NW-SE) defined by wall footings (max H 0.55m; T 0.6m). A break (Wth 1m) in the SW end of the SE wall shows the position of the doorway. This is a post-1700 AD monument.
