Full Description
A large possible hut circle near Loch Alvie.
About 110 metres to the N of the ring cairn at Loch Alvie (see MHG4431) are the remains of a possible hut circle c16.0m in diameter, crossed in the E arc by a fence. It is defined by a grassed bank of rubble stones spread to 3.5m around the N arc, but the remainder of the circumference is scarcely visible. A depression in the E may indicate an entrance. Nearby to the SW are three or four stony mounds which may be contemporary stone clearance heaps and a grassy mound outside the SE arc may be another.
