Full Description
At NC 5958 3575 on a low spur is a single hut circle, covered with bracken and heather. It is set into a gentle SE-facing slope and measures 12.0m in diameter within a stone wall spread to 2.0m wide and 0.4m average height; the wall widens to 3.0m on either side of a simple entrance in the SE arc.
On the hillslope to the NW of the hut is a field system, comprising some traces of heather-covered walling, but stone clearance heaps predominate, at least 15.0m apart but generally more sporadic. Outlying to the N and E are a number of mounds, some of which are stone clearance, but others appear to be a result of localised peat accumulation.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
