Full Description
On N-facing slope in a pasture field, there is a very obscure, turf-covered hut circle measuring 6.5m E-W by 5.5m within a wall spread to 2m and 0.2m high. The simple entrance is in E. The ground has been cultivated in more recent times, but a small number of turf-covered mounds nearby are probably from contemporary cultivation. Some 25m to the S there is a turf-covered mound about 9m in diameter and 0.4m high. In the centre there is a shallow depression about 5m in diameter. The origins of the mound and depression are uncertain.
Surveyed at 1:2500. Visited by OS (J B) 7 October 1981.
