About 200m E of KE079-005----, situated on an artificial terrace revetted with drystone masonry on its S side. A pair of circular conjoined huts of corbelled drystone construction.
The E hut KE079-006----measures 3.9m x 3.7m internally and its wall stands to a maximum internal height of 1.2m. An entrance at SE, .8m wide, is marked by a pair of uprights at its inner end. A lintelled passage at W communicates with the W hut and measures .5m high, .5m wide and 1.3m long. This hut, larger than the first, measures 4.3m in internal diameter and has been coniderably modified and rebuilt. The basal courses of three mural chambers along the internal wall-face suggest that these features may be original and that the original entrance may have been at SE. The present entrance is through a gap at N.
