Full Description

A denuded circular stone-walled hut, measuring about 11.0m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to c. 3.0m all round. The entrance in the E is ill-defined. To the N of the hut is an area of clearance heaps, probably from contemporary cultivation plots. Area of clearance delineated on 6" sheet.

About 170.0m N of the hut is a semi-circular stony bank open to the E and measuring c. 11.5m N-S. It is possibly a mutilated hut, but more likely to be linear clearance.
