At NC 7166 0958, on a rise in open ground, is a hut circle, measuring 11.0m in diameteer internally, with a probable entrance in the SSE. The wall, much reduced, is best distinguished by intermittent inner facing stones. Strip cultivation intrudes into the hut interior.

Visited by OS (J M) 28 April 1981.
This hut-circle is situated on a low, heather- and grass-covered rise on the SW bank of the Brora River. It measures 11.4m in diameter within a boulder-faced bank 2.4m in thickness and 0.2m in height. The hut-circle wall has been set just below the crest of the rise and, as a result, the interior appears slightly raised. The entrance is on the SE and ridging, measuring about 1.8m between furrows, overlies the interior and extends across the rise around the hut-circle.
