For field-system, lazy-beds and field clearance cairns between NG 2295 0509 and NG 2371 0556, see NG20NW 131.01.

On the summit of a ridge of outcrop overlooking an area of lazy-bed cultivation (NG20NW 131.01), there is a small subrectangular hut superimposed on an oval grass-grown mound. The mound measures 11.7m from NNE to SSW by 10.8m and 1m in height and has been damaged by rabbit burrowing; on the date of visit, several sherds of pottery and fragments of a metal object were recovered from rabbit scrapes, while, on the E, shells were scattered across the slope. The hut measures 2m from N to S by 1.6m within a wall 0.8m in thickness and 0.5m in height.
(Canna 445, 992).
