Full Description
ND24SE 19 2603 4425
To the NE of the Camster long cairn (ND24SE 1) is a circular depression with a partly-defined peat-covered bank around its rim measuring 6.5m between its centres. There are traces of what may be an entrance in the SSE. This may be a hut circle, but it is too ill-defined to classify positively.
Visited by OS 12 April 1972.
GR given is to the N of the cairn on the raised hillside area on which the cairn lies. No obvious trace of a hut circle here in deep heather with sheep paths - HAW 24/05/2005
