This is a hut circle, levelled back into a slight slope and measuring internally 11.5 by 10.5m; an entrance is in the south-east on the line of the long axis. The wall, up to 0.5m high, is ragged and turf-covered with outer facing stones visible in the entrance arc where an actual width of 1.5m is estimated. There are no indications of contemporary land-use.
Revised at 1:10,000.
