OS 6"map, (1964)

Two enclosures, possibly hut-circles, accompanied by many earth and stone mounds, probably clearance heaps, found during field investigation on the lower SW slopes of Cnoc Ruigh nan Copag.
'A' measures 12m N-S by 11m internally and consists of a mutilated earth and stone bank, faced with stone on both sides, measuring 2m wide and 0.5m in max height with an entrance in S.
'B' exists only as a bare outline but appears to have measured about 8m in diameter. It has an entrance 1m wide in SE, on both sides of which traces of stone can be seen. The probable clearance heaps lie to E.
Visited by OS (W D J) 11 May 1961.

The two "enclosures" are hut circles and are as described above.The scattered clearance heaps along with one or two lynchets define a minor field system, but no plots are discernible.
Revised at 1/10,000. Visited by OS (J B) 12 April 1977.
