Three sides remain, the southern, western, and northern, while the eastern side is entirely open. The structure measures roughly 6.3 metres east to west and 2.9 metres north to south, modest dimensions that immediately raise the question of what it was actually for.

The puzzle is that its construction closely resembles a turf stand, a simple enclosure traditionally used to stack and dry cut peat. Yet the rocky slopes here carry little or no peat cover, which makes that explanation hard to sustain. Without the raw material the structure seems designed to handle, its purpose becomes genuinely unclear. Whether it served some other agricultural function, or relates to seasonal activity connected with the hut site recorded approximately 40 metres to the west, remains an open question. Hut sites of this kind are typically the remains of small, sometimes temporary shelters associated with upland farming practices, and the proximity of the two features suggests they may have been used together, though no firm conclusions have been drawn.
