Full Description
Two conjoined hut circles to the east of Sleastary.
The features are visible on vertical aerial photographs and appear to be well preserved. The larger of the two has been incorporated into a later enclosure and may have been re-used as a sheep pen. It is approximately 10m in diameter. The smaller of the two is attached to the first in its southeast quadrant and is 8-9m in diameter. <1>
The features are also visible on SEPA LiDAR data. <2>
