Full Description
On a terrace on S facing hill-slope, is a solitary stone-walled hut circle now overgrown with peat and heather.
It measures 8.5m E-W by 7.5m N-S within a wall spread to about 2m broad. The entrance of simple form is in E arc.
There is no evidence of cultivation around the hut, but on a terrace some 300m to N, is an area relatively free of stone, which contains about ten scattered clearance heaps; this cultivated area is probably contemporary with the hut.
Surveyed at 1:10,560. Visited by OS (N K B) 14 January 1977.
