At the base of a W-facing slope beside a stream is a circular stone-walled hut measuring 11m diameter between the centres of a wall spread to about 3m all round. The inner face dry-built of flat slabs can be seen for 2m to N of the simple entrance in the W. An outer wall facing stone at this point gives a wall thickness of 2.4m. Several more outer facing stones of slabs on edge are visible round the N arc. There is no trace of contemporary cultivation.
Visited by OS (I S S) 13 March 1972.
