Possible rectangular hut site (ext. dims. 7.4m x 4.2m) located in a small, triangular patch of cultivation ridges which run downslope in an E-W direction. Listed as Dromleagh 4 (Costello 2016, 96; Costello 2016, 299) and described as a roughly rectangular spread of stones, aligned E-W, on a gentle grassy slope. A possible internal wall noted 2.3m from its E end suggests that it may be a collapsed hut. To the S of the structure are two clearance cairns, containing stones picked from the ridges. A gently-curving bank and ditch runs above the cultivation ridges, presumably to channel surface water away from whatever crop(s) used to grow on the ridges (Costello 2020, 126).
