A small structure (int. dims. 2.8m x 1.9m) defined by scarp where it is built into the hill-slope at SW-W-NW and elsewhere by a heather-covered bank (Wth at crest 0.7m; overall Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.32-0.85m; ext. H 0.55m). There is a narrow entrance (Wth 0.5m) at the NE end of the SE wall, defined on the NE side by a large boulder with a straight side towards the entrance.
