Full Description
In a area of heather moor lie two round houses. That at NH 4357 3746 is c11m in diameter with the wall constructed from boulders which are particularly large in the S arc. The entrance is in the SE arc. The round house at NH 4374 3749 is not as complete as that already described, but is again constructed of large boulders. It is c8m in diameter with the entrance in the SW arc. Neither stands to more than 0.3m in height. No evidence of field clearance or dykes could be seen in the tall heather.
