Full Description

NC92SW 34 9186 2222.
On shelving ground overlooking the SW, is a hut circle. Narrow-rig cultivation is evident in the general vicinity but there are one or two low stony mounds nearby that may indicate contemporary field clearance. The hut, on a rise, is 11.5m diameter inside a reduced peat-silted wall spread 1.5-2m broad; the entrance is from the SE. About 85.0m to WSW a slight, level-topped mound effect with stone showing in SW periphery may be remains of a hut mutilated by the later agriculture.
Surveyed at 1:10,560. Visited by OS (J M) 12 January 1977
