Roughly circular slightly concave area (diam. 6m) enclosed by a low broad flat-topped earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.15m; Wth at top 1.8m; overall Wth. 4.4m). From NW-NE the bank is absent and the edge hut site is defined by a very slight inward facing scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. Interior is slightly concave and clear of overgrowth.
