NC50NE 82 5734 0595.
At NC 5734 0595, on the gentle lower slopes north of The Ord, is a hut circle, covered by thick heather. Internally it measures 11.0m SE-NW by 9.0m with the entrance in the SE. The wall is strongest in the NW where it is spread to 2.5m wide and 0.4m high, declining in strength towards the entrance. Except for two small clearance heaps there is no trace of contemporary cultivation in the immediate vicinity, although the ground to the NE is smooth and stone-free. A large field system lies close by to the south (see NC50NE 13). A shallow moss-covered pit, 2.5m in diameter, lies immediately north of the hut.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (J B) 13 March 1979.
