OS 6"map, (1962)
This is a stone-walled hut circle ('A') with another of contrasting construction ('B') close by. They are situated above a burn junction on a gentle N-facing slope. 'A', set slightly into the slope, is 9.0m in diameter within a wall defined by intermittent inner facing stones. The wall, spread to 3.0m in the W, enlarges o 4.5m at the entrance in the E. A depression in the wall's centre, visible for a few metres on the SW side of the entrance indicates the double wall construction of the hut. 'B' is of significantly smaller size. It measures 5.0m in diameter within a heather-covered bank spread to 1.5m; the entrance is in the E. A minor field system defined by clearance heaps about 20m apart surrounds the huts.
Surveyed at 1:10 560.
