In rough hill pasture, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 4.2m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4m). The W portion of the interior is raised and the E portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered to the NW of the hut site, externally.
