The circular hut (KE070-002003-) occurs towards the centre of the system and measures 4.3m N-S x 4.5m E-W internally. Only the lower courses of crude horizontal masonry survive, and these are flanked on the inner face by a number of upright stones. The wall averages .8m thick and the N facing entrance, 1.85m wide, is defined on its W side by uprights. Adjacent at SE is a drystone structure of rectangular plan and similar construction; it measures 2.8m N-S x 2.5m E-W internally. Abutting the NW side of the hut is a small, circular structure, defined mostly by uprights. Both structures appear to have served as annexes to the main hut.
