A discrete hut circle 5.4 metres to the south-east of a prehistoric enclosure (MDV4247) on Harford Moor, 95 metres east of the River Erme. Although the remains stand low to the ground, and the walls are spread and turf covered, the internal wall face of the hut is visible for a good portion of the circuit and the internal diameter is 8.4 metres. Patches of the external face, also in place, suggest a wall thickness of 2.3 metres. The entrance opening is on the south-east of the arc, though no masonry is visible.
