Full Description
On a S-facing slope within a walled field of permanent pasture, is a turf-covered hut circle, 7.8m in diameter within a wall about 2.2m thick and 0.5m high. Numerous slabs set on edge, defining the inner wall face, are exposed. The entrance appears to have been in the SW. A wall of discontinuous stones on edge springs from the NW arc of the hut, extends round the outside of its W arc at a distance of 2m, and terminates on the S side. There is no evidence of associated cultivation.
Surveyed at 1:10,000. Visited by OS (N K B) 29 October 1982.
