Built up on a SW slope, is a circular hut, c. 12.5m in diameter, between the centres of a denuded stone wall spread to c. 2.5m all round. Two boulders set on edge in the SE arc are outer facing stones, but no entrance is evident. An old track skirts the SW arc. To the NE of the hut occasional lynchets and a few stone clearance heaps form cultivation plots, varying between c. 30.0m by c. 20.0m and c. 20.0m by c. 15.0m.
