In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4m N-S; 2.1m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.3m) which is open to the N. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The lower part of the walls are grassed over. There is a spill of loose stones on the external downslope to the S.
