The remains of an oval hut site (3m E-W; 2.2m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.4m) which is best preserved SE-N. The hut site adjoins the W boundary of a field within a field system (KE093-085003-). Three other hut sites (KE093-085001-, KE093-085005-, KE093-085006-) are c. 50m to the NE, c. 20m to the NW and c. 35m to the SW, respectively.
