In rough upland pasture, located on a relatively narrow terrace on the N facing slope of a rocky ridge, overlooking an expanse of boggy ground which stretches N from the base of the ridge. This is one of a cluster of booley huts (MA096-034001- to MA096-034010-) associated with a field system (MA096-034----).
This possible booley hut consists of a subrectangular area (c. 3m N–S; 2m E–W) defined on the E side by a shallow arc of collapsed wall (Wth c. 0. 8m; H 0.3m), which merges at N with the S wall of a booley hut (MA096-034005-). On its W side it is roughly defined by a gapped setting of stones, including one large upright stone, and a spread of loose stones. Appended to the SE side, is another small subcircular space (int. diam. 1.6-1.7m) of uncertain function, defined by a setting of low contiguous stones.
This possible booley hut appears less substantial than some of the other booley huts in the cluster. It may simply be an additional ‘room’ or small enclosure associated with the hut (MA096-034005-) on its N side.
