Poorly-preserved hut circle of 3.7 to 4.2 metres internal diameter with fragmentary walling spread to a maximum of 2.2 metres and only 0.25 metres high. The interior, slightly dished, is cut into the hillslope to 0.25 metres.

The whole is turf-covered with occasional small-medium size stone visible.
