NH19NW 2 1055 9688

About 50m N of a sharp bend on the road to Rhue, is a hut circle with entrance on the SE. Some upright stones, c 0.1m high, revet the inner and outer faces of the wall. Around the hut-circle are several clearance cairns. Just W of the hut is a smaller circle, and c 0.70m

to the N is another circle.

Information from C E K Scouller, Tigh na Fasileige, Rhue, Ullapool, to Society of Antiquities of Scotland, June 1989

NH 1055 9688 The settlement (NMRS NH19NW 2) extends over 1.5ha, and contains two complete hut circles, fragments of what may have been a third, and over a dozen peat-covered mounds, some of which are almost certainly clearance cairns. The larger hut circle has an internal diameter of c 10m, the smaller c 6m. There was no indication of any enclosure walls.

Fuller details have been lodged with the NMRS.
