Full Description
Surveyed by ACFA 2003 (SMR Report 1430)
A sub circular structure with a stone and turf bank. 10m in diameter internally outer walls are spread to over 1m thick. The structrue has a height of between 0.6 and 1.4m. In the West a 3m setting of stones is almost obscured by grass.
To NE of the circle are the remains of a turf wall abutting the circle at a break in its circumfrance which may indicate an entrance. This creates a possible pen between the circle and a turf and stone bank to the east of the hut and curving around it.
