Full Description
Centred at NC 637 057, at the west end of a prominent ridge, are two heather-covered hut circles ('A' and 'B'). 'A', built onto a small natural eminence, measures 11.5m N-S by 8.5m within a wall spread to 2.5m; the internal height is unobtainable. The wall widens slightly at the entrance in the south. 'B' is smaller and less strongly built; it measures 7m in diameter within a wall spread to 2m and 0.2m high. The simple entrance is in the SSW. A small number of scattered clearance heaps occur in the vicinity.
