Full Description

Centred at NH 388 319 on a S-facing slope are two stone-walled huts (A and B) and a contemporary field system.
Both huts are circular, each on a shelf, and are formed by a wall of indeterminate thickness. The measurements are given between wall centres.
Hut 'A' measures about 12.5m in diameter. It is mutilated by forestry ploughing and the entrance is not evident.
'B' measures about 11.0m in diameter. It is over- laid by a forestry fence and mutilated in the S half by forestry ploughing. A block on edge, probably an outer facing stone, is in the W arc. The entrance cannot be seen.
The field system consists of occasional stone clearance heaps with lynchets and natural terraces forming plots averaging 35m by 25m.
Huts surveyed at 1/2500.
