At NC 5194 1672 on an undulating SW-facing slope is a stone-walled hut, obscured by dense bracken. It is built up on the W-facing slope, and measures about 8.5m internal diameter within the turf-covered wall, 0.4m high, spread to 2.5m broad. The entrance gap is in the SE arc. A few scattered clearance heaps occur in the vicinity of the hut, but no plots can be identified.
