A circular enclosure (A) discovered during field investigation.
Visited by OS (J L D) 15 July 1961
At NC 811203 On a south-facing slope above the Tuarie Burn, within a shieling area (NC 82 SW6) is a settlement of 3 stone-walled hut-circles (A-C) including the published enclosure. The huts are set into the slope, each with an entrance gap in the SE arc. 'A' measures 10m in diameter within a wall, 0.5m high, spread to 2.5m wide at the entrance; elsewhere the width is uncertain. Some boulders on edge are visible defining the inner wall face. 'B' is similar, 10m in diameter within a wall, 0.7m high and baout 3.3m broad at the entrance, which is clubbed. A shieling has been built on the wall in the west arc. 'C' is poorly preserved, 9.5m in diameter within a wall obscured by peat. The remains of a boulder revetment can be seen on the south (downhill) side. There is no trace of associated cultivation.
Re-surveyed at 1:10 560. Visited by OS (N K B) 2 March 1977
