Visited by OS (WDJ) 28 April 1961
These huts lie within an area of forestry. 'A' situated on the tip of a small rise is greatly obscured by heather. It measures about 10.5m in diameter within a bank spread to 2.5m. The S arc of the bank has been destroyed. 'B' is set into the slope and is in a poor state of preservation. It measures 8.0m within a wall of 2.0m average spread.
Due to the afforestation there are no visible signs of contemporary cultivation.
