Monument record MHG53736 - Possible hut circle, Kirkton Assynt

The site lies in a relatively wide level valley between Druim nan Torr and Cnoc Gorm to the north of the track from Kirkton to Glenbain and on spur overlooking various pre-clearance structures, fields and a chambered cairn beside the River Traligill to the south. 1 mile to the N at the end of the valley there are several burnt mounds. The feature was surveyed at 1:100 by Historic Assynt, as part of the Scotland's Rural Past project.

The remains consist of a poorly preserved circular bank with five breaks in the circuit and a small number of visible stones of widely different sizes, which may delineate remnants of inner and outer wall faces. The interior is approximately 11m in diameter and the bank varies in thickness from 1.5 – 2m. <1>
