Hut 24 is vaguely sub-circular in shape and measures 2.5 - 3.0 meters in diameter. The wall shows signs of considerable collapse and displacement. There are no internal facing stones remaining in situ but two large semi-recumbent slabs on the north margin and three other stones on the east, south and west probably formed part of the external facing. There is no identifiable entrance to this circle, which lies less than 0.5 meters south south-west of Hut 23, but is not linked.
