In rough hill pasture, on bog, on the SE-facing slopes of Maulin overlooking the valley of the Owgarriff River. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (1.8m E-W) defined by a curving stone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.6m) with a straight W side (L 1.9m) comprising the linear face of outcropping rock. Rubble is scattered along the perimeter and in the interior of the hut site, which is partially obscured by rushes.
