NH84NE 13 850 455
(A: NH 8493 4550; B: NH 8499 4556) Hut Circles (NR)
OS 1:10,000 map, 1978.
See also NH84NE 25.
Centred at NH 849 455 are two circular, stone-walled huts and a contemporary field system.
Hut 'A', set into the end of a spur, is visible as a platform, about 10.0m in diameter, with traces of walling round the rim. The entrance is not evident.
'B' is about 12.5m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to about 3.0m. The SE arc is almost completely destroyed and the entrance is not apparent.
The field system, marked by stone clearance heaps and lynchets, is greatly obscured by peat and deep heather and no plots could be identified.
To the N and NE of the huts are two depopulated buildings with contemporary cultivations.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (R L) 11 January 1971.
