Full Description
ND13SE 115 1532 3280
What may be a small hut-circle lies in open peat moorland some 40m NNE of the cairn (ND13SE 114). It measures 6m from N to S by 8m transversely within heather-grown walls 0.5m in maximum height and spread 1.5m in thickness. Several stones are visible along the line of the wall and two large orthostats frame a possible entrance on the SE.
