In rough hill pasture, on the NE-facing slope of Knockowen Mountain. The remains of a roughly built, circular hut site (diam. 2.5m) defined by the lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.65m; H 0.3-0.85m). The lower course stones are partly hidden in the blanket bog. Slabs are set horizontally in the wall W-N. There is a well-defined entrance (Wth 0.4m) at S. A hut site (KE109-048004-) abuts this hut site at W. There is another hut site (KE109-048001-) 3m to the NE.
