Full Description
NC60NE 7 6828 0623.
At NC 6828 0623, on a SW - facing hillside is a hut circle accompanied by a field system.
The hut measures about 10.0m internal diameter. The wall is reduced to an indeterminate, heather-covered rubble spread. The entrance is no longer discernible.
The field system is denoted by an even distribution of stone clearance heaps, spaced from 10.0 to 20.0m apart, and tenuous traces of occasional lynchets. There are no measurable plots.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J M) 2 October 1980.
This hut-circle, covered with peat and heather (the latter recently burnt off), is terraced out from a W-facing slope in undulating moorland. It measures 9.5m in diameter within a stony bank spread to 2m in thickness and generally no more than 0.2m high. The heather-covered terrace to the SW (an area measuring about 90m E-W by up to 80m N-S) is scattered with small cairns.
