What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on the NW-facing slopes of Knocknabro. The remains of a D-shaped hut (3.6m E-W) defined by a grass-covered, earth and stone bank (Wth 1.8m; H c. 0.6m) with a straight E side (L 6m N-S). A glacial erratic is incorporated into the bank along the W arc. The interior is raised (H c. 0.6m) at W and cut into the upslope at E to compensate for the hillslope and create a level interior. A low outer bank is visible SW-NW.
