A group of four hut-circles found during field investigation on a south-facing slope.
'A': the slight remains of a hut about 12m in diameter consisting of a slight bank about 1.7m wide by 0.3m high on the south. On the north the bank is almost obliterated and there is a possible entrance in the south.
'B' is mutilated, about 14.6m in diameter, and consists of a vague turf bank with stone protruding. The entrance, about 1.5m wide is in the SE. 'C' is heather-covered, slightly scooped into the hill-side on the NW and consists of an earth and stone bank about 3.5m wide and 0.6m high. It measures about 13.4m N-S by 11.7m and has an entrance, 1.1m wide, in the SE.
'D' is very faint but appears to have been about 10m in diameter. Visited by OS (W D J) 15 July 1961.
A settlement of four stone-walled hut circles so mutilated by ploughing and afforestation that details are no longer obtainable. No evidence of contemporary cultivation can be seen.
Revised at 1/10,000.
Visited by OS (J M) 25 November 1975.
