The hut comprises a circular stony bank, now turfcovered and spread, with some stone of the interior face remaining in situ. The structure has a roughly level floor and an interior diameter of approximately 6.5 metres. It is slightly embanked on the southern arc and there is no obvious remains of an entrance.
