Monument record MHG11176 - Cnoc an Torra Mhoir

A stone-walled hut-circle within an associated field system was discovered during field investigation on the upper, moorland slopes of a hillside open to the S and intruded on by 18th/19th century abandoned settlement from the S and E.
The hut, built up on a rise, is about 11.5m diameter over a wall of indeterminate thickness; the interior bears signs of disturbance seen in a thin spread of turf-overgrown rubble. Two earthfast, opposing slabs, standing to 0.6m high and 1.2m apart, in the south wall arc are undoubtedly portal stones.
The field system is 200m E-W by 100m N-W and is clearly indicated by stone clearance heaps and the odd lynchet; cultivation plots cannot be discerned.
Surveyed at 1:10 560.
