Full Description
On a gentle E-facing slope in rough pasture, are four hut circles (A-D), similar in appearance, and varying in size from 8m by 7m to 11.5m by 10.5m within turf-covered walls spread to 2.5m and surviving to a height of 0.5m. Entrance in each case is in SE; that of hut 'B' appears to be mutilated and is now 4.5m wide, with a low mound within this opening and slightly outside wall line. There are a small number of clearance heaps and short stretches of wasted walling nearby, which are probably associated with hut circles.
Surveyed at 1:2500. Visited by OS (JB) 25 November 1981.
