Monument record MHG2429 - Hut circle, Allt A' Chriosduidhe

An enclosure, 12.6m in diameter, formed by a stongly built earth-and-stone bank spread to 3.3m and with an average height of 1.3m. The entrance, 0.9m wide, is in the SE and is protected by flanking banks protruding for a distance of about 5.0m. The interior is disturbed, but the remains of two banks can be seen running from the NW to NE respectively towards the centre. There is a mutilation in the SW segment of the bank, and a trench which extends N round the outside of the bank for a distance of some 8.0m. The site is thickly covered with heather. Visited by OS (W D J) 22 June 1960.

(ND 0983 2470) Enclosure (NR) OS 6" map, (1964)

This is an unusually massive hut circle of Kilphedir II type (see NC91NE 25), as described by the previous OS field surveyor. The internal features are very indistinct. The trench around the upper side of the hut may be natural, or it could be a drainage channel; a similar depression occurs at two neighbouring hut circles (see ND02SE 9).
There is no trace of associated cultivation.
