At NH 8884 5238, on an afforested ridge, are two adjoining hut circles. The huts, turf-and tree-covered, are very poorly defined. Entrances are discernible in SE sector on line of the long axis in both cases. S hut measures 10.5m by 9.5m within a wall reduced to a rubble spread up to 0.4m high and from 2m to 4m broad. N hut measures an estimated 13m by 10.5m inside a wall, surviving as a rubble band 0.3m high and 2m to 2.5m broad. There is no sign of associated land-use.
Surveyed at 1:2500. Visited by OS (J M) 28 January 1981.
