Class: Hut circle
Description: A circular stone-walled hut on the top of a small knoll, 13.5 m in diameter with a
wall spread of 3 m (Figure 3). The entrance is to the southeast. Although technically out of
area it is within the fence line as seen in the field and has therefore been included in the
survey
Condition: Grassed over its full area. A substantial modern cairn has been constructed over the northeastern part of the wall. <1>
