Hut 3 lies to the south-east of Hut 2. It is in poor condition as stones from its entrance and lower wall have been removed for the medieval homestead. The working floor, on lower side of the hut, was paved.
It has a central hearth, laid on four granite paving slabs, crazed by heat. Two other thick patches of charcoal at the back of the hut. Six postholes were found, forming an irregular setting around and behind the hearth. All had packing stones.
Few finds: a small whetstone (fig.24,11) and a flint blade found near the charcoal patch, and three other flint implements, a blade and a piece of triangular arrowhead of secondary Neolithic type, a single thin potsherd and a beach pebble in the dark soil around the main hearth.
