NH72NE 6 7985 2735.

At NH 7985 2735 set into an E-facing slope of Craig Morile is an oval stone-walled hut measuring 12.5m E-W by 10.5m transversely between the centres of a wall spread to about 3.0m all round. The ill-defined entrance is in the E. Four outer facing stones are visible in the S and one just to the N of the entrance. The hut is separated from NH72NE 5 by a boggy rivulet.

There are several clearance heaps in the immediate vicinity probably from contemporary cultivation plots.

Forty five metres to the N is a platform about 14.0m diameter bounded in the SE arc by a stony build up, uncertainly a denuded hut or part of a cultivation plot.

Surveyed at 1/10,000

Visited by OS (I S S) 14 February 1972.
