Full Description
Enclosure (NR) OS 6"map, (1961)
This is a hut circle discovered by the previous field investigator. It is turf-covered and has been levelled into the W-facing slope in an area of rig-and-furrow and field walls. Near circular on plan, it has a slight angularity not normally found in hut circles, but this is probably caused by encroachment of the later cultivation or recent re-use of the hut stance. It measures 11m in diameter within a wall generally spread but measuring 1.4m wide and 0.3m high in the NE. No entrance is visible. There is no trace of associated cultivation. Visited by OS (J L D) 11 May 1960 and (J B) 29 August 1978.
