(NC 7188 5500) Hut Circle (NR) (NC 7190 5497) Cairns (NR) (Five shown) OS 6"map, (1964)
A hut-circle, cut through by a fence and accompanied by field clearance heaps, lying on an east-facing slope, beside the river.
The hut-circle consists of an earth and stone bank, 7m in diameter, with an entrance in the SE. The clearance heaps range from 3m to 6m in diameter and from 0.5m to 1.2m in height. That at NC 7191 5498 appears to be partly surrounded by a slight bank.
RCAHMS 1911, visited 1909; Visited by OS (J L D) 5 May 1960.
The hut circle is turf-covered and mutilated, measuring 5.0m in diameter within a low, vague wall of uncertain width.
The 'cairns' shown on the OS 6"map are turf-covered clearance heaps associated with the hut. Recent cultivation has occurred in the area and strips of linear clearance are presumably of this later date.
Revised at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J B) 18 December 1978.
