Full Description
(A: NC 6565 3863 and B: NC 6563 3860) Enclosures (NR).
OS 6"map, (1963)
These are two hut circles of similar type (A and B), found during field investigation (OS {J L D}) set in the lower reaches of a south-facing hillside. Associated cultivation is denoted in a small plot, 10m by 15m, and in one or two rickles of field clearance, all just to the east of hut B; there appears to be later cultivation between the huts. 'A' is 10.8m internal diameter within a wall mainly reduced to a sparse bare-stone spread 1.5-2m broad, with intermittently an inner facing. There are gaps in the wall in the SSE and SW arcs, the former probably being the entrance, the latter indicating possible secondary use.
'B', levelled into the slope, is about 7.5m diameter inside a wall surviving in the north half as a low turf-covered spread 2.5m broad, but elsewhere it is fragmentary. The entrance is from the SE quarter.
Revised at 1/10,000.
Visited by OS (J L D) 14 May 1961 and (J M) 15 March 1961.
