Field Investigation on 19th July 1988. The hut circle survives as a platform cut into the slope on the east 0.5 meters and built up downslope to 0.5 meters. The wall remains are almost entirely turf-covered with only a few large-size stones projecting through the surface. Internal diameter is approximately 5.2 meters and scarps forming the platform are between 1.0 and 1.7 meters long. The interior is smooth and level with no entrance visible. A field boundary adjoins on the south-west.
