Full Description
Set into a SW-facing slope, is a hut circle, 9m in diameter within a heather-covered wall, 0.4m average height and spread to 2.5m. The entrance is in the SE. Contiguous to the E tangent of the hut is a circular area, 5m in diameter, levelled into the slope.
There is no trace of a wall around it, but here the heather is very dense. It may be a forecourt arrangement of possibly a second hut circle. There is no trace of associated cultivation.
Surveyed at 1:10,000. Visited by OS (N K B) 8 November 1982.
