Monument record MHG6416 - Loch Lonachan

On the southern slope of an E-W ridge, and immediately below the crest, is a hut circle and enclosure. They lie at a height of c160m on thin calcareous soil and peat overlying dissected limestones.
The hut circle is oval, measuring 6.2m internally E-W and 5.5m internally N-S. The wall thickness varies between 1m and 1.4m and is made up of large and medium sized stones laid randomly throughout its thickness; no clear facing is evident, and it seems doubtful whether one was ever intended. As such the "wall" may have formed simply the base for a turf or timber superstructure. The position of the entrance is unclear.
An enclosure wall runs from the eastern side of the structure, and utilizing natural limestone outcrops encloses an area measuring 19m E-W by 23m N-S (437 sq m). The boundary wall is made up of random stone.
