NH63SW 55 6316 3408 and 6316 3404.
At NH 6316 3408 and NH 6316 3404 are two circular stone-walled huts (A and B respectively).
Hut 'A' measures c. 11.5m in diameter between the centres of a denuded wall of indeterminate thickness, whose outer face is visible for a length of c. 12.0m in the NE arc. No entrance can be seen.
'B' is c. 13.5m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to c. 2.5m all round. No entrance is apparent. It is overlaid by a ruined field wall identical to those associated with huts in a nearby field system (NH63SW 19).
A similar wall, about 40.0m to the SE of hut 'B' forms three sides of a sub-rectangular area measuring c. 170.0m NE-SW by c. 70.0m transversely. In the W corner is a single stone clearance heap and immediately outside it are several more. The relationship of the huts with the walls and clearance is uncertain.
Survey of huts at 1/10,000 (Visible on air photographs 67.198.008).
Visited by OS (NKB) 13 February 1970.
