NH82NW 23 8057 2938 and 8067 2937.
At NH 8057 2938 ('A') and NH 8067 2937 ('B') are two poorly preserved circular stone-walled houses. (Information from Mr L Wedderburn, Inverness Museum)
'A' measures c. 14.0m in diameter between the centres of an ill-defined wall with a slight entrance gap in the ESE.
'B' is c. 12.5m in diameter between the centres of a wall poorly preserved except in the N. The ill-defined entrance is in the ESE.
The houses occur on a strip of relatively undisturbed moorland between a new forest on the N, and cultivated fields to the S. They are surrounded by evidence of contemporary cultivation in the form of stone clearance heaps, lynchets, and occasional field walls.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (A A) 1 November 1974.
