A hut-circle is situated about 120m SW of the track between Glenwhilly and Barnvannoch on a low ridge dropping gently down towards the NE. The hut-circle measures 9.5m in diameter within a stony bank up to 2.4m thick and 0.5m high. The entrance is on the ESE and is covered by a baffle wall which springs from the hut-circle on the E. Field-banks run away from the hut-circle on the NNE and S respectively; the former is visible as a stony scarp butting on to the hut-circle wall, but the latter, which forms a low stony bank, stops short, apparently leaving an entrance into a field lying to the W of the hut-circle. The extent of this field is unknown and the course of the perimeter could not be traced beneath the peat.
