At NS 4869 5305 is a small hut circle, 6.6m in diameter, formed by a turf-covered bank with large stones protruding. The bank is about 2.5m wide, 0.2m high externally and 0.5m high internally on the W side where it is slightly scooped into the slope. The bank fades out on the E side where there was possibly an entrance.

Some 12.0m E of tht hut circle is a hollow, apparently natural, with a few stones on its W side, but the remains are too indefinite to be called a hut circle. The features described are the only ones in the area which could possibly fit Newall's descriptions.

Surveyed at 1:2500.

Visited by OS (JTT), 4 December 1964.
