Full Description

NG25NE 23.03 2534 5788.

What may be a hut-circle is situated on a slight terrace on the slopes above the shore of Loch Bay. It measures 11m overall, possibly 7m in diameter within a bank about 2m thick and 0.4m in height. It has been overlain by cultivation ridges and supplemented by clearance, through which intermittent inner and outer faces are visible. The SW side has been terraced to a height of 0.6m from which a short stretch of banks runs away to the S. A substantial bank to the N and E appears to have been partially engulfed by lazy-beds.
