(NG 5012 6429) Hut Circle (NR)
OS 6"map, (1968)
This feature is about 9.0m in diameter and has a watercourse running through its centre. No stones are evident, and although bearing some similarity to a denuded hut circle it is more likely to be a fortuitous natural build-up of peat.
Visited by OS (A A) 4 November 1971.
