Around the hut are a number of stone clearance heaps, probably from contemporary cultivation plots.

This hut-circle and field-system were visited during a pre-afforestation survey by J Wordsworth (NMRS MS 961/9, no.4). The full extent of this site, which covers about 2.7 hectares, is difficult to establish although it does seem to be localised along the ridge. There is a faint suggestion of broad rig on the N, extending down toward Fanblair though this identification is tenuous.
J Wordsworth 15 December 1995; NMRS MS 961/9, no.5
