Full Description
At NC 7102 0581, in shelving ground on a SW facing slope, is a hut circle. Associated land use is denoted in a number of stone clearance heaps particularly along the slopes to the SE. The hut, completely turf and peat-covered, measures 13m in diameter over an obscure wall-spread; a slight depression in the S side may indicate the entrance.
Surveyed at 1:10 000. Visited by OS (J M) 20 May 1981.
This hut-circle (ROG95 186) is situated on the leading edge of a small terrace at the base of the SW flank of Cnoc Dubh. It measures 8.9m from NE to SW by 8.4m transversely within a stony bank spread to 2.4m in thickness and 0.5m in height. The interior is raised above the surrounding ground level.
There are at least six small cairns (ROG95 975), measuring up to 4m in diameter and 0.3m in height, on the terrace to the N of the hut-circle. Faint traces of rig are visible on the ground between the cairns.
