Full Description

NC 6151 4571, set on a level shelf on a steep E-facing slope, is a turf-covered hut circle. It measures approximately 13.5m in diameter within a wall spread to 3m wide and 0.4m in average height. The entrance is in the east. There are no certain traces of contemporary cultivation; large stony mounds in the vicinity of the hut and to the S are probably clearance heaps associated with the later Leitir Mhor township (NC64NW 4).
Surveyed at 1:10 000. Visited by OS (J B) 9 October 1978.
