This small hut-circle is situated in an area of rough grazing about 120m SSW of Hogholm Cottage. It measures 4.1m in diameter within a grass-grown stony bank up to 1m in thickness and 0.2m in height. The entrance is on the ENE. The hut-circle lies within a group of about fifty small cairns that stretches from close to the edge of a Forestry Commission plantation on the SE to an area of rig-and-furrow (NJ81NW 184) on the NW. The largest of the cairns measures 4m in diameter.
