Full Description

NG25NE 23.01 2526 5786.

This hut-circle is situated some 25m from the shore of Loch Bay at a distinct break of slope. It measures 7.4m in diameter within a faced bank 2m to 2.3m in thickness and up to 0.7m in height, on the W, downslope, side. The outer face can be seen from the SE to N while the inner face is rather more intermittent. The entrance is to the SE where there is a gap 1.5m wide in the bank on either side of which are facing stones set transversely to the line of the bank. The W side is terraced to a height of 0.7m and the interior appears to have been levelled. At least one furrow rides over the bank.
