OS 6" map, (1964)
This hut circle is as described by the previous field investigator; a dip in the wall suggests that the entrance may be in the W. Some 30m to the E is a small heather-covered stone footing of uncertain association. It measures 3.0 by 2.5m within a wall spread from 1.5 to 2.0m and 0.3m high. There are two stone clearance heaps in the general vicinity. Visited by OS (J B) 3 September 1982.
