NR 468 512. This hut-circle, which lies on a low ridge 750m NNE of Ardmore among later agricultural enclosures and field-banks, measures 8m by 7.5m within a wall up to 0.5m high. The wall is considerably overgrown, but several large irregularly-shaped inner and outer facing-stones can be traced, giving a thickness of between 1.8m and 2m. The entrance lies on the SE, where two large slabs set on edge form the sides of an entrance-passage 2m wide. A later subrectangular structure lies in the centre of the hut-circle, with traces of another in the area of the entrance.
