Full Description
NC64SE 40 6979 4292.
(NC 6979 4292) Unannotated pecked circle.
OS 6"map, (1961)
This feature which is a hut circle lies within the small depopulated settlement of Auchenrach. It is situated on a small rise and survives as a turf covered platform ringed by the vestiges of a wall. It measures 12m diameter within the wall, which only survives to any extent in the north where inner and outer facing stones are visible indicating a wall width of 2-2.2m and a height of 0.6m. Elsewhere the wall is robbed presumably for the adjacent early-modern structures. No entrance to the hut was seen. There are no signs of contemporary cultivation; any trace is likely to have been obliterated by the more recent agriculture.
Revised at 1:10,000. Visited by OS (J B) 7 August 1978.
