Summary

One of three huts south-east of the enclosure, this hut is surrounded by tin pits. Hut measures 3.7 m diameter with walls 1.5 m wide. There is generally very little stone visible within the turf covered stony banks although an orthostat still survives, presumably still in situ. It has a level interior with no visible sign of an entrance. However, directly to the south of this hut is a stretch of walling which may have been associated with this feature.
