This hut-circle is sited on a large natural knoll 50m W of river Tirry. The interior is reduced by lazy beds to a series of irregular hummocks, but the outer wall, which includes stretches of outer and inner face, survives to a height of 0.5m. The hut-circle measures 11.5m in diameter over walls about 1.8m in thickness. The position of the entrance is uncertain.
Visited by RCAHMS (SMF) 12 October 1989.
