In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, in the valley of the Coomeelan stream and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE103-006001-). The remains of a rectangular hut site (5.8m N-S; 2.5m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed, grass-covered wall (T 0.6m; H 1m) of stone and earth at N, E and S and on the W side by the SE wall of an enclosure (KE103-006----). There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) at the centre of the E wall. There is another hut site (KE103-006007-) immediately to the E.
