At 2.8 metres in diameter, this is not a building in any grand sense; it is the kind of modest enclosure that would barely shelter a few people, and it is easy to pass off as a natural accumulation of rock until you notice the upright stone slabs still standing along part of the circuit, some nearly a metre high and twenty centimetres thick, forming what was once a deliberate wall line running from the north-east around to the west.

Hut sites of this kind are the remnants of simple dry-stone shelters, sometimes associated with seasonal activity such as summer grazing or small-scale agriculture, though without excavation it is rarely possible to assign a precise date or function to any individual example. What gives this particular site its quiet interest is its setting within a broader landscape of relict field boundaries, the low earthen and stone banks that once divided up the hillside into working plots. Those boundaries have their own separate record, and together with the hut they suggest a stretch of ground that was once organised and occupied in ways that are no longer legible from below. A second hut site lies roughly twenty metres to the south-east, which hints that this was not an isolated shelter but part of a small cluster of activity on the hill.
