Full Description
A possible hut circle or ring cairn and field system to the north of the Allt Goibhre.
A circular feature measuring c.15m in diameter within a spread walls c.2.5m thick is visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 2015 on the east side of a small tributary of the Allt Goibhre. It sits in the eastern corner of an almost triangular area whose southeast and western edges are formed of narrow dykes and/or stone alignments. It may represent the remains of a large hut circle within an associated field system. An alternative interpretation is that the circular feature is a ring cairn within a later field system. <1>
