Full Description

At NH 9857 3830 on a gentle SE-facing slope is a denuded circular stone-walled hut visible as a raised platform about 8m in diameter. There are traces of walling around NE arc. The entrance is not evident. The hut occurs near SE edge of a small contemporary field system marked by stone clearance heaps and a few lynchets, with fields averaging about 20m x 10m.
Inconspicuously placed amongst the clearance heaps at NH 9850 3834 is a probably contemporary cairn with a kerb of contiguous stones on edge visible intermittently around the perimeter. It measures 8m in diameter and is 0.5m high. The centre has been howked, but probably not sufficiently to disturb the burial.
Hut and cairn surveyed at 1/10,560.
Scheduled. (Undated) info from OS Record Card.
