A well preserved hut is attached to the eastern interior wall of a prehistoric enclosure (MDV4247), 80 metres east of the River Erme. The hut has a level floor and an almost intact kerb of granite boulders standing up to 0.6 metres high, forming an inner wall face. The interior diameter is 7.4 metres. The earthen bank surrounding the wall has become somewhat spread and denuded and the position of the entrance is uncertain.
