The westernmost of two adjoining hut circles, which form part of group or settlement on the moderate eastern slope of the River Erme to the north of Dry Lake. The hut, which is terraced into the slope and embanked on the south-west side, has walls comprising a turf-covered stony bank, now ruined and spread to 4 metres wide. The interior diameter is 7.5 metres. Traces of the wall faces remain visible in the form of several in-situ edge-set slabs. A cluster of fallen slabs on the south-south-east side, may indicate the position of a blocked entrance.
