Full Description

A hut circle at Drumashie. See MHG65703 for the field system and clearance cairns.

At NH 6424 3728, set into a slight E slope, is a circular stone-walled hut, measuring c. 12.0m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to c. 3.0m all round. The splayed entrance in the E is c. 1.0m wide inside, increasing to c. 2.2m outside. On the N side of the entrance is an upright block, which is now loose, and may not be in situ.

Extending SW from the hut is an area of stone clearance heaps probably from contemporary plots, though details are obscured by previous afforestation.
