Surveyed at 1:10,000. Visited by OS (J M) 19 May 1981.

This heather-covered hut-circle comprises a platform measuring 6.6m in diameter which is levelled into a gentle slope on the SE flank of Cnoc Dubh. There are fragments of a bank measuring 1.5m in thickness and 0.3m in height on the W and E sides and a depression in the lip of the platform on the SSE, which may indicate the position of the entrance.
