Full Description

NC70SW 45 7414 0442

At NC 7414 0442, in open ground, is a hut circle accompanied by a field system. The hut adopts a slightly elevated stance and is generally peat and heather-covered. It measures approximately 12.5 by 10.5m internally, with an entrance in the S on the line of the long axis. The wall is reduced to a rubble spreead up to 2.5m broad and 0.5m high in the S arc, but elsewhere it is ragged and discontinuous. The field system comprises numerous clearance heaps, spaced on average from 7.0 to 15.0m apart, and occasional lynchets; no measurable plots are discernible. Surveyed at 1:10 000.

A hut-circle surrounded by small cairns is situated on a low hill to the NE of Culdrain. The hut-circle (NC 7414 0442, ROG95 412), which occupies a terrace on the E of the hill, measures 10.5m in diameter within a stony bank spread to 2.9m in thickness and standing up to 0.6m in height. The entrance lies on the SSE, and a small cairn has been built on the W arc. The small cairns cover the greater part of the hill, an irregular area of about 150m square. A boundary bank runs across the hill from N to S on the W of the small cairns, before turning a right angle to lead off the hill to the SSW.
