Full Description
A circular stone-walled hut (shown on 25" but not named)( OS 25"map, 1969) almost identical to NH 41 SE 1. It measures 18.0m in diameter between the centres of a turf-grown wall spread to c.4.5m with no facing stones evident. The entrance gap, 1.5m wide, is in the ENE. The N side of the entrance shows a 2.0m circular hollow, probably a mutilation. The S arc has also been mutilated.
The area around has been under cultivation within recent years and there is no trace of cultivation contempory with the hut.
