Full Description

Three hut circles near the Allt Bad A' Choilich.

Set back into a SE-facing hillslope, are three hut circles (A-C), now heavily obscured by peat accretion, so that all measurements are approximate.

'A' is about 9m E-W by 7m N-S within a heather-covered wall 0.2m high and spread to 2m. The entrance, of simple form, is in the E.

'B' measures 8m NW-SE by 7m internally; the wall is spread to a width of 5m at the entrance in SE, but elsewhere it is indeterminate, about 0.2m high.

'C' is 8m in diameter within a wall, 0.3m high and spread to 2m; the entrance is in SE. There is no trace of associated cultivation. Surveyed at 1:10,000. Visited by OS (N K B) 8 December 1982.

GIS spatial data amended in 2024 according to location of features as seen on 2009 vertical aerial photographs. <1>
