Sub-rectangular hut site, located on a moderately sloping, west facing downward slope c.100m upslope and to the west of NICH31 and c.30m north of CH33 at ITM grid co-ordinate 507657, 568812. Similar to NICH31 in that it utilises a natural rock outcropping to form the southern enclosing element of the feature. The north, west and east sides are enclosed by a low dry-stone wall which is extant to a height of c.0.5m. The wall encloses an area measuring 5.5m E-W by 1.7m N-S. Occasional large natural slabs also form part of the northern enclosing wall.
