Three unannotated circles. OS 6"map, (1961)
A settlement of four well-defined hut circles 'A' - 'D') including the three unannotated circles is situated on an undulating E-facing slope. With the exception of 'A' they are oval, and range in size from 11m. by 10m down to 7.5m by 6.5m internally; 'A' is circular, 9.3m in diameter internally. The turf-covered walls are about 1.5m wide and average 0.3m in height, except 'D' where the wall is 0.6m high. The entrances of simple form are in the S quarter. A minor field system of about two and a half hectares surrounds the huts; it is defined by scattered clearance heaps and linear clearance placed along the foot of the slope. No measurable plots are evident.
