Summary
Terraced into the hillslope and composed of a drystone wall surrounding an oval internal area. Interior measures 9.6m by 6m and the 1.1m wide surrounding wall stands up to 1.2m high. A stone built recess in the west wall may represent a cupboard. Probably a field barn associated with the nearby farmstead, although its shape suggests that it is a reused hut circle.
