Full Description
A possible, though damaged, hut circle visible on 1999-2001 APs at Houstry in a small area of pasture. It is sub-circular in shape and is approximately 13m across. It is overlain by a later, probably modern, feature. <1>
Following the submission of photographs from the landowner it is clear that this feature has been caused by build-up or retention of material within an enclosure formed from vertical Caithness flagstones, many of which have since been removed, leaving an almost circular raised feature. <2>
