The remains of a hut-circle are situated 140m NNE of the now abandoned farmstead of Westerton; it lies on the E side of the public road immediately N of the rough track to Tomlia cottage. The hut-circle survives as a platform which measures about 9.5m in diameter and has been levelled to a depth of 0.5m into the natural slope. The entrance is probably on the SSE where there is a shallow depression on the lip of the front apron.
