Full Description

An oval stone-walled hut set into a rise in a cultivated field. It measures about 20.0m NW-SE by about 18.0m between the centres of a wall spread to about 3.0m all round, partly obscured by modern stone clearance which has been piled around it. The entrance in the SE is mutilated. A few stone clearence heaps some 200m to the NNE may be from contemporary cultivation plots.
It is locally thought to have been a preachers' circle.
Resurveyed at 1/2500.
