This hut-circle occupies a terrace on a heather-covered hillslope some 350m E of Eastertown; it measures 7.5m in diameter within a stony bank spread to 1.5m in thickness and 0.3m in height with an entrance on the SE. Amongst the rank heather, there are occasional traces of banks and small cairns, which may belong to a field system.

The hut circle was visited by S Farrell in 2012 during a walkover survey in advance of the proposed installation of two wind turbines and associated services. It was noted that there was no evidence of any associated field system. The feature was well away from the proposed turbine locations and would not be affected by the development. <3>
