Full Description
NH55NW 43 5054 5633 and 5047 5639
Situated on a low rise, on S side of Loch Ussie there are remains of a hut-circle which measures 8.7m diameter within a turf-covered bank about 2.4m in thickness and up to 0.3m in height. S side is poorly preserved but the entrance is on SSE; on SSW there is a cup-marked stone which has probably formed part of outer wall-face. The stone measures 0.4m in height and 0.5m in breadth and the N face is decorated with at least four cups measuring up to 80mm in diameter. Situated about 82m NW of the hut-circle there is a large boulder on the upper surface of which there is a cup-mark measuring 80-90mm in diameter.
Visited by RCAHMS (JRS) 1 March 1989.
See MHG63099 for cup marked stone.
