Full Description
RCAHMS Canmore description:
Two hut circles are situated on rough but reasonably level ground close to an area of arable land, 60m above sea level. The first (S) hut circle is at NG 23445 54650 and measures approximately 11.5m in diameter. The second (N) hut circle lies 10m to the N at NG 23445 54660 and measures 9m in diameter. It is less distinct than the first and was spotted from the cliff ledge above, in good light, when the vegetation was low. The centres of both hut circles are soft and mossy, and they appear to have a hard surface approximately 0.5m below ground level. Inside the first (S) one, there are clumps (post positions?) spaced 1.5m apart.
There is a group of small cairns some 20m to the S (centred on NG 23440 54625), mostly very low and best seen in low light from above.
