NR 401 637. In broken country close to the unclassified road between Ballygrant and Cluanach, there are two stone-walled hut-circles lying about 500 m apart.
The first, (for second see NR36SE 2) situated in an area of rig-and-furrow cultivation on a low ridge 1.1km NW of Slievemore, measures 8.8m by 7.3m within a wall which has been reduced to a bank of grass-grown rubble 1.5m thick and up to 0.5m high internally; only a few inner and outer facing-stones survive. The entrance, 1m wide, is on the SE, and within the interior there are traces of a subrectangular structure of relatively recent date. Attached to the N arc of the hut-circle wall there is an L-shaped structure measuring 2.6m by 3.0m within a wall 0.75m thick which, as part of its foundation, uses the linear limestone outcrops. There is no visible entrance, but a depression in the hut-circle wall on the N may have provided access from the inside.
