A circular enclosure, 29' in diameter within a 5' thick wall now surviving only as a foundation with a probable entrance in the SE. Partially overlying it on the NNW is a secondary circle 13' in internal diameter.
RCAHMS 1912, visited 1911
Situated on low sheltered ground facing south is a hut circle measuring 9.0m in diameter within walling spread to 2.0m. Although no outer facing stones can be distinguished, a few inner facing stones are visible. The interior is level and featureless and there is a gap, possibly on entrance, in the SE. A later circular enclosure 3.5m in diameter overlies this hut circle on the NE. There are no traces of any associated field system or field clearance heaps.
Surveyed at 1:10 000.
