This is an oval turf-covered bank with some stone protruding. Measures 11 m ENE/WSW x 10 m externally. No obvious internal features. The bank is almost invisible for 4 m in E arc but it is not known whether this is through damage or an original entrance. Several very large boulders in the vicinity. There is a second hut circle 5 m to NE of this (site 30).
Hut circle as marked on O.S. map. See NMRS NC36NE 25B.
On edge of plateau under grass and bracken overlooking Loch Borralie to the E.
