Butler’s hut circle 5 measures 7.6 metres in diameter and is an isolated hut downhill from the group of four (MDV62335-8) and is very difficult to identify in the summer months when the bracken here is over 2.0 metres high. The remains of the hut are insubstantial with few stones visible around the edge and no sign of an entrance.
