The hut circle is generally as described by the previous field investigator, the wall spread to 2.5m wide and 0.3m in average height. Two or three nearby clearance heaps are probably from contemporary cultivation, or possibly they are associated with the later agriculture represented in the vicinity by rig-and furrow.
