This hut-circle stands on a heather-grown ridge close to the edge of a forestry plantation. It is oval on plan, measuring 9.6m from NNW to SSE by 8.6m transversely within a wall 2m in thickness and 0.3m in height, and it has an entrance on the SSE (URQ97 450). About 60m to the NW there is an area of rig (URQ97 451; NH 4009 3151), extending to about 0.4ha. The rigs are curved and measure about 3.6m in breadth, broadening to 4.6m towards their ends. Two small cairns lie in the furrows between the rigs.
