Full Description
NG25NW 1.20 2510 6009.
This hut-circle is situated at the base of a slope and has been overlain by lazy-beds. Inner facing stones are visible to the W, and there are traces of outer facing stones to the E. The hut-circle measures 5.2m within a faced stony bank 1.3m in thickness and up to 0.3m in height.
To the SW a boulder set transversely to the bank may mark the position of the entrance. A lazy-bed on the E side appears to have driven through the centre of the hut-circle before adopting a line around the exterior. Large boulders to the SW are not in situ.
