Full Description
NG20NW 15 2480 0599.
Circular grassy platform c. 8.5m in diameter with traces of a stony bank around the edge. Possibly a hut circle, but condition too poor to classify with certainty. About 25m S are two roughly curving lines of stones 2m apart and 8m long, possibly artificially arranged and somewhat like a 'Viking burial' but in too mutilated a state to be classified; 45m to the N of the 'hut' is a collection of stones showing no intelligible pattern.
Visited by OS 27 May 1972.
