Full Description
NC70SW 80 7237 0498 and 7235 0500
Two hut-circles are situated on the E side of a low hill to the W of the Garbh-allt within an area of small cairns. The E hut-circle (ROG95 153, NC 7237 0498), which is set towards the rear of a small terrace, is oval and measures 10.9m from ESE to WNW by 9.4m transversely within a faced-stone bank spread up to 2.6m in thickness and up to 0.8m in height. The bank terminals expand towards the entrance, which is on the ESE. There is a break of slope towards the rear of the hut-circle.
The second hut-circle (ROG95 152, NC 7235 0500) is situated on a small terrace some 20m to the W. It measures 7.7m in diameter within a faced-stone bank 1m thick and up to 0.4m high. The position of the entrance is unclear.
At least thirty small cairns, measuring up to 4m in diameter and 0.3m in height, are scattered across the hilltop and terraces around the hut-circles.
