What are probably the remains of a hut-circle of several periods of construction are situated on low-lying, poorly drained rough pasture about 800m NE of Barnakill farmstead (Lacaille 1925; Campbell and Sandeman 1964). It measures 11m in diameter within a boulder-kerbed wall which stands to a maximum height of 0.3m. On the W the wall is up to 1.8m thick, but on the E a later outer arc of walling appears to have been added, which is separated from the inner wall by a gap of up to 0.7m, giving an overall wall thickness of 3.1m; it is reasonably certain, however, that this was not originally built as a cavity-walled house. The wall is interrupted by three breaks, through two of which a modern drain has been dug, but the position of the original entrance is not certain.
