A circular hut site (diam. 6.7m N-S; 7.6m E-W) defined by boulders. The land rises immediately to the W forming a higher terrace. A field boundary (double-walled in places) composed of large boulders (Wth c. 0.7-1m) (part of field system WI027-078006-) extends NNE-SSW 18.4m to the W of the hut site.
