Full Description

A hut circle and enclosure just to the northeast of Achatomlinie. The site is not shown on any OS mapping but is visible on all available vertical aerial photographs. The probable hut circle is c.9 in diameter and it is within an oval enclosure which measures c.45m x 33m, adjoining at its northern end . The enclosure itself is within a much larger enclosure (see MHG63257) formed by a dyke and the Allt a' Chaise which is probably not contemporary. <1>
