Full Description
NC65NW 16 632 588.
Centred at NC 632 588, on a small shelf on an east facing slope, is a closely grouped settlement of three similar, simple hut circles ('A'-'C').
'A' is circular the others oval; they range in internal size from 6.5m by 6.0m ('B') up to 10.0m by 9.0m ('C'). All the huts are overlaid by peat and heather and the spread walls, with no stone showing, survive at best 3.0m wide and 0.3m high. The entrances are in the south east.
About a dozen scattered clearance heaps in the vicinity are the only indication of associated cultivation.
Surveyed at 1:10000.
Visited by OS (J B) 6 September 1978.
