The bank is barely half a metre high, its top just over a metre wide, yet it marks out a space that was once deliberately enclosed, roughly rectangular, oriented northwest to southeast, and sitting at the centre of something larger still.

The hut site occupies the interior of a ringfort, one of those circular earthwork enclosures, typically dating from the early medieval period, that once served as a farmstead or small defended settlement. Finding a hut site at the centre of a ringfort is not unusual in itself; what tends to catch the attention here is how much can still be read from so little. The surviving bank defines an area measuring approximately 7.8 metres along its longer axis and 5.3 metres across, with what appears to be an entrance gap on the southeast side. The northeast arc of the structure has been levelled, whether by agriculture, time, or something else is not recorded, but enough of the bank survives to suggest the original footprint of a building that would have been modest by any measure, and intimate by most.
