Full Description
NH69NE 11 centred 665 987.
At NH 6661 9877 and NH 6642 9871, on a S-facing hillside, are two hut circles (A and B respectively). Both huts are heather-covered and ill-preserved.
'A', on a slight rise, measures approximately 9.5m by 8.0m within a wall reduced to a rubble spread at most pronounced 2.0m broad and 0.2m high. The entrance is in the SE, on the line of the long axis.
'B', built up on and set back into the slope, is reduced to a platform measuring some 9.0m NW-SE by 8.0m. There are no other surviving details. Contemporary land use is denoted by a scatter of field clearance heaps on the down-slope S from hut 'A'.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J M) 29 August 1980.
