NC92SW 35 9061 2394.
At NC 9061 2394, on moorland with a southerly aspect, is a hut circle and an associated field system. The latter, of about two hectares area, is readily seen by mounds of field clearance spaced on average 20.0-30.0m apart; occasional lynchets are in evidence but measurable cultivation plots are not discernible. The hut remains as a low peat-covered platform, an estimated 14.0m diameter, the SE periphery in part mutilated or destroyed by the intrusion of a shieling-type structure and by surface quarrying, but in the NW half, having vestiges of a wall on the rim. A stone clearance heap abuts on the E exterior of the hut.
Surveyed at 1:10 560.
