This wasted hut circle located during fieldwork (OS {W D J}) is on gentle rising ground open to the north west. Associated cultivation is denoted by scattered heaps of field clearance, but measurable plots are not discernible. The hut measures 8.5m in diameter inside a wall surviving mainly as a low, peat-covered bank 2.0m in width; west of an ill-defined entrance in the SE are two outer facing slabs.
Revised at 1/10,000.
Visited by OS (W D J) 2 May 1960 and (J M) 24 May 1977.
