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. This is the third 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-). In gently undulating rocky mountain pasture on slight SSW-facing slope. Views are excellent from E-S-W but obscured somewhat by higher ground elsewhere. Small rectangular house or hut (dims. 6.6m E-W; 4m N-S) defined by wall footings (max H 0.3m; T 0.5m). There is no definite break to indicate the position of the doorway. This is a post-1700 AD monument.
