NH67NE 6 6993 7547.
(NH 6993 7547) Hut Circle (NR)
OS 6" map, (1969)
In cleared woodland on a SE-facing slope is a circular stone-walled hut, measuring c.10.0m in diameter between the centres of a denuded wall spread to c.2.0m, but destroyed in the W arc. The outer wall face of stones set on edge is visible in the S and E arcs. The "simple" entrance is in the ESE. A stony bank c.2.0m wide curves W from the WNW arc of the hut, and can be traced intermittently towards the SE. It is part of the NW side of a sub-rectangular enclosure c.70.0m NW-SE by c.50.0m. The SW corner abuts onto the NE end of a long cairn (NH67NE 2). A few clearance heaps occur near the hut, possibly from contemporary plots.
Surveyed at 1/2500 (OS [RDL]).
Visited by OS (R D L) 13 May 1963 and (N K B) 26 October 1970.
An irregularly shaped enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross-shire and Cromartyshire 1880, sheet liv). A hut circle with an attached short length of wall is annotated and depicted on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1985).
