This hut-circle is situated on a rocky terrace to the SE of the township (NC70SE 55). It measures 7m in diameter within a bank, 1m in thickness and 0.6m in height. The inner face, which is composed of large boulders, incorporates at least one in situ erratic. There are gaps in the bank on the WNW, SW and SSE, any of which may have been the entrance.
