This hut-circle stands in rough grassland in the saddle between two wooded knolls to the NE of Achtemarack farmsteading. It measures 5m in diameter within a rubble wall 0.9m thick and 0.3m high. The entrance is on the SSE. In heather moorland to the N there are at least eleven small cairns scattered across an area measuring 100m from NE to SW by 30m transversely.
