On a level terrace, on the N side of an E-W rough pasture ridge with occasional outcropping rock, beside the seashore on the S side of Blackball Harbour. The remains of a rectangular hut site (6.4m N-S; 2.5m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 0.9m; H 0.35m) of earth and stone, which slopes down gradually on both the E and the W sides. The entrance (Wth 0.4m) is near the N end of the E bank. An E-W bank (Wth 0.3m; H 0.2m) of earth and stone divides the interior into two similar-sized compartments. Rubble obscures the S compartment. There is a hut site (CO127-050007-) 6m to the W and another hut site (CO127-050009-) is 7m to the E.
