(NC 52671572) Enclosure (NR)
OS 6" map (1963)
A mutilated enclosure, possibly a hut circle.
Visited by OS (WDJ) 28 April 1961
This feature, though obscured by heather and encroached upon by trees, is undoubtedly a hut circle. It is situated on a gently sloping, SW-facing hillside, and measures 9.0m internal diameter within a wall of uncertain width. The position of the entrance cannot be ascertained, and there is no trace of associated cultivation in the surrounding forest. Revised at 1:10,000
