Full Description
NH43SE 63 4522 3197
This hut-circle stands amidst an extensive group of small cairns on the crest of a low ridge in open moorland. Oval on plan, it measures 9.7m from NNW to SSE by 7.1m transversely within a wall reduced to a stony bank 0.5m high and 2.1m thick. The entrance is on the SSE. The cairns, of which at least 72 can be identified, are concentrated in a 50m wide band, stretching for about 275m from NE to SW along the crest of the ridge. One cairn overlies the NE arc of the hut-circle.
