OS 6"map, (1968)
Situated on the NW side of Loch an Daimh Mor, and near the base of a rocky ridge, is a finely-preserved hut circle, discovered by the previous field investigator. It is turf and heather-covered, and measures 10.5m N-S by 8.0m within a spread wall 2.5m wide. The hut has been built up on the slope on the E, where the bank is 1.3m high externally; it is only 0.4m high on the N side. The simple entrance is in the S. Approximately nine clearance heaps in close proximity to the hut represent contemporary cultivation.
Revised at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J B) 27 May 1980.
