Butler’s hut circle 1 measures 7.6 metres in diameter and is still in good condition. There is one jamb stone still standing at the entrance to the hut and the other has fallen across the gap. Steps must have been necessary to enter the house from the outside. A passageway ends at the yard surrounding this hut; one of a number of passageways approaching huts in this settlement, which is most interesting and they are particularly well preserved here. Most of the passageways are blocked at both ends but this one has a V-shaped gap which may have allowed access.
