Full Description
A hut circle, 8m in diameter, survives in the modern forestry plantation between Kinbeachie and Toberchurn at an altitude of c. 65mOD. It is turf covered, with no visible stonework or entrance showing, but is still clearly defined. The precise location is uncertain and dimensions of feature are obscured by heavy tree growth. Another possible hut circle is sited at c.NH 623 625 but this is less certainly circular in shape. There may be additional hut circles and possible clearance cairns are suggested to SE of main hut circle.
