Full Description
(NC 8885 6205) Hut Circle (NR)
OS 25"map, (1976)
A hut circle discovered during field investigation.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (A A) 7 November 1972.
This hut circle is set on a level terrace on an E-facing slope. It measures about 9.5m NW-SE by 8.0m within a low wall spread to 2.5m. The entrance in the SE is ill-defined. Some stones from the wall lie inside the hut.
There is no sign of associated cultivation in the vicinity. The present condition of the ground on three sides of the hut tends to be unfavourable for cultivation.
Visited by OS (J B) 21 June 1977.
The hut circle is visible in vertical aerial photographs. <1> <2> <3>
