(Three of nine shown) Enclosures (NR) OS 6"map, (1963)
Situated in the lower slopes of a west-facing hillside are three enclosures.
Visited by OS (E G C) 7 March 1961.
This is a settlement of three hut circles (A-C) in association with sporadic heaps of field clearance. Cultivation plots are not discernible. The huts are reduced and heather-covered but appear of a similar type.
'A' is 11.5m diameter inside a wall spread to 1.5m broad. The position of the entrance is uncertain, the E and S arcs offering alternatives.
'B' is 6m diameter within a wall spread to 2m broad; an entrance is in the S quarter.
'C' is 7.5m diameter within an obscure wall; the entrance is in the SW.
Revised at 1/10,000. Visited by OS (J M) 23 March 1977.
