One surviving stone suggests the hut had an internal diameter of approximately 8.2 metres though the walls are now spread to 3.3 metres wide and turf covered. Attached to the eastern arc of the hut against the interior of the enclosure is a small turf covered circle with an internal diameter of approximatey 3.3 metres. On the eastern exterior adjacent to a kink in the enclosure wall a circle of eleven small stones is all that survives of a third hut circle with an internal diameter of 5.2 metres.
