At NR 3971 6412 among undulating limestone outcrop is a turf-covered hut circle. It measures 8.5m E-W by 8.0m within a wall about 2.0m wide and 0.6m high. Intermittent inner and outer facing stones are evident. A probable portal stone stands on the sough side of the entrance in the east. Adjacent, are a number of plots, which although containing more recent cultivation, may have been originally contemporary with the hut.
