Visited in 1992. Hut circle terraced into the hillslope. Simple plan and coursed stone walls type. The interior measures 2 metres in diameter and is defined by a 1.3 metres wide wall standing up to 0.4 metres high. The doorway faces east and is partially blocked. This structure is attached to a boundary wall. Not excavated in 1905. Archaeological deposits therefore probably survive intact.
