A circular stone-walled hut measuring c. 6.5m in diameter between the centre of a wall spread to c.1.5m which is heavily obscured by peat. Occasional outer facing stones are visible in the E and S. The entrance is not evident.
About 20.0m SE of the hut are traces of a wall which may be contemporary.

It measures about 5m in diameter within a low stony bank 1.3m in thickness and 0.2m in height. A rickle of stones is visible at the edge of the terrace to the S.
