In bog, in a coniferous wood on the N-facing slopes of Been Hill. The central one of three hut sites (see KE070-081001-, KE070-081003-) which are situated on a N-S axis. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.3m), defined by a moss-covered, collapsed stone wall (T 0.75m; H 0.4m), which protrude above the surface of the bog. The level interior is obscured by wood debris. Trees are growing within and around the hut site. The two other hut sites (KE070-081001-, KE070-081003-) are c. 2m to the N and c. 1m to the S, respectively.
