Full Description

There is an oval enclosure, possibly a hut circle, visible as an ill-defined shallow depression in the turf about 6.5m in diameter. The wall is spread to 1.5m and 0.3m high. A sub-division, 3.5 by 2.5m, is discernible inSE arc. The entrance is not apparent. There is no indication of contemporary cultivation - the land has either been inundated with sand or cultivated in more recent times.
