Full Description

NH69NE 6 691 991.

Centred on NH 691 991, in a S-facing hillside, is a settlement of four heather-covered hut circles (A - D) accompanied by a minor field system. Internal dimensions 'A' - 'D' respectively, are 7.5m NW-SE by 5.0m, 3.5m diameter, 6.5m and 5.5m diameter; entrances when discernible are in the SE quarter. The wall of hut 'B' is obscure; in the other huts the walls are visible as rubble spreads on average 1.5m to 2.0m broad and 0.2m to 0.4m high.
The field system comprises numerous stone clearance heaps, spaced on average 10.0m to 20.0m apart, and tenuous traces of lynchets. There are no measureable plots.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
