Monument record MHG7433 - Croick

At NH 4596 9197 and NH 4582 9182 are two stone-walled hut circles (A and B respectively) in association with a field system. The situation is in a S-facing hillside. 'A' is reduced to a peat covered oval platform, about 14.0m by about 12.0m, spoiled in the N arc by a track, but elsewhere having vestiges of a wall on the rim; an entrance, ill defined, is from the SSE on the line of the longer axis. The hut is crossed by a fence.
'B', better preserved, is approximately 10.5m by aprox- imately 10.0m inside a heather over-grown wall spread on average to 1.5m; an entrance is from the SE on the line of the longer axis.
The contemporary agriculture comprises stone clearance heaps, approximately 3.0 hectares in extent in the environs of the huts. The mounds are scattered but there is a concentration of half a dozen or so quite large ones about 100.0m SSE of hut A. Occasional linear stone clearance is apparent, and just N of hut B are stony lynchets indicating a couple of small plots of approximately 15.0m by approximately 10.0m. Surveyed at 1:10 000.
