Full Description
Unannotated circle shown.
OS 6"map, (1963)
This is a stone-walled hut circle situated on a gentle NE facing slope just above the confluence of two streams. It is built up on the slope and measures 10.0m in diameter within a wall spread to a maximum of 3.0m. A slight lowering in the wall in the south arc probably indicates the entrance. There is no trace of associated cultivation.

To the SSW of the confluence of the Finfal Burn and an unnamed tributary there is a hut-circle which measures 9.7m from N to S by 9.2m transversely within a bank 2.2m in thickness and 0.5m in height. The entrance is on the S and the N side of the interior has been built up to create a level floor. There is a hut in the W side of the interior. (KILD91 106)
To the ENE of the hut-circle and on the E side of the Finfal Burn (NC 8290 3094) there is a mound measuring 13m from E to W by 4.5m transversely and 0.4m in height. There are four compartments on the top of the mound and what may be further mounds in the vicinity.
