In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on a W-facing slope within a network of pre-bog field boundaries (CO115-090001-). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 5.4m) defined by a poorly preserved, gorse-covered, earth and stone bank (Wth 1m; H 0.2m) that is interrupted by several small gaps. Tufts of gorse grow in the level interior. Another hut site (CO115-090002-) is 5m to the E and a fulacht fia (CO115-090004-) is 5m to the SE.
