This hut-circle is situated on a small terrace on the SW-facing flank of Stey Fell. It measures 8.9m from NW to SE by 8.1m transversely within a stony bank spread to 1.7m in thickness and 0.4m in height. The entrance, which is on the SE, faces the back of the terrace. There is a shallow depression, up to 1m across, around the S side of the interior, beginning beside the entrance. At least three small cairns, measuring up to 3m in diameter and 0.3m in height, are situated within 30m of the hut-circle to the S and N.
