Full Description
A hut circle at Halliagarry Burn. Recorded by the OS as hut circle 'A'. For hut circle 'B' see MHG59560.
At NC 862206 on a SW-facing hillslope above the Halliagarry Burn there are two similar heather-covered hut circles (A' and 'B') entered from the S.
'A' is seen as a low platform, with the hut measuring 9m N-S by 8m within slight traces of a wall. The W arc is almost totally obscured by peat and heather.
'B' is marginally better-preserved; it measures 11m N-S by 10m within a wall spread to 2m where measureable. The N arc has been obliterated by mutilation or peat cover.
There are only one or two clearance heaps in the vicinity, although the ground is of a smooth, stone free nature.
Surveyed at 1:10 560. Visited by OS (J B) 7 March 1977
GIS spatial data amended in 2019 according to location as seen on 1999-2001 vertical APs. <1>
