Description
The building is on a north-facing slope, orientated north-south with other associated buildings to the east. The rectangular building was a hut associated with the adjacent other buildings and built on level ground. The walls lack mortar and are built from stone and are left plain internally. They are 0.5m thick and not built on orthostats. There is no hearth. The position of the doorway is not evident. The eaves where they survive are 0.5m high. The building measures internally 8m by 5m. Possible enclosure on the east side approximately 8m N-S and 4m E-W. Most of the stones are covered in turf, very weathered. The ground cover was bracken at the time of survey. G.
