An oval hut site (int. diam. 7.5m NW-SE; 4.6m NE-SW) defined by moss and grass-covered boulders (Wth up to 1.6m) with a flat interior, sloping slightly to SW. Two field walls extend from the W quadrant, one towards NW and the other towards N. Some gorse is growing on the bank at NE. There is a possible entrance at SSW (Wth 1.6m).
