Monument record MHG1498 - Hut circles, Feith Ruadh

On a gentle NE-facing slope in open moorland is a group of four hut circles (A - D). Huts A, B and C are similar; all are obscured by peat and heather, and they vary from 7- 8m internal diameter with vague walls 0.2-0.3m high. The entrance to each is in the E or SE. Hut 'D' is the best preserved; it measures 10m ENE-WSW by 8.5m transversely within a wall surviving to a height of 0.5m and spread to 2.5m. There are three or four inner facing boulders exposed. The entrance was probably in the ENE, but this area is obscured by dense reeds. Outside the hut in the E is a platform or possibly a further contiguous hut circle, but such is the density of the reeds that no details are recoverable.
