In rough pasture on a mantle of bog, on a terrace on the N-facing lower slopes of Mullaghanattin. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (3.5m N-S) defined by a partially grass-covered drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.45m) with a straight S side (L 2.4m). There is an entrance (Wth 0.45m) at NE. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.2m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope.
