(A: NC 7135 0751 and B: NC 7133 0752) Hut Circles (NR)
OS 1;10,000 map, (1970)
Two hut circles (A and B). In front of 'A' indications of another similar construction; the banks on either side entrance passage in 'B' square-ended. One or two small mounds lie in the immediate vicinity. RCAHMS 1911, visited 1909.
2 huts surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (R B) 1 February 1966.
'A' and 'B' are not hut circles, but enclosures associated with either the abandoned strip-cultivation in the vicinity or with the local tradition of a shieling area. Six metres SW of 'A' is a bothy-type footing 4.0 by 4.0m. There are no mounds of particular note. The enclosures each measure about 5.0m diameter within turf-covered walling standing on average to 0.5m high and where best preserved, in 'A' indicating a width of little over 1m. The enclosures have a simple entrance in the W. There is a tumble of bare stones in the interior of 'A'.
Revised at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J M) 6 April 1981.
