Full Description
NH52NE 4 5807 2518 AND 5811 2520.
At NH 5807 2517 and NH 5811 2519 are two circular stone-walled huts (A and B respectively), which are built-up on a gentle NW slope.
"A" measures c. 13.0m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to c. 3.0m increasing to c. 4.0m in the built-up NW arc. It is destroyed by quarrying in the SE arc, and no entrance is apparent. There is a single inner facing-stone in the W arc.
"B" is c. 10.0m in diameter between the centres of a denuded wall, barely visible on all save the built-up NW arc, where it is spread to c. 3.0m. No entrance is apparent.
There is no trace of associated cultivation, but the slopes to the S, where cultivation would be expected, are occupied by a later depopulated settlement.
