Full Description
A hut circle on Cnoc Breac near Elphin, Sutherland was found by B Lythgoe in 2017, though it was originally thought to be a robbed cairn. It is approximately 10m across with thick stone collapsed walls with an apparent entrance in the southeast. <1>
This may also be what has been previously described as a small chambered tomb, but has been unlocated following its original discovery (see MHG13033).
