NH84SE 1 8683 4087.

At NH 8683 4087 on a dry rise beside the Carnoch Burn is an oval stone-walled hut measuring c. 14.0m from the W through the simple entrance in the E, by c. 12.5m transversely between the centres of a wall spread to c. 3.0m all round. There is no trace of the type of cultivation which is normally found with stone-walled huts, ie. clearance heaps, lynchets etc. The hut falls within an enclosure divided into two sub-rectangles of unequal size by a cross bank which clips the N arc of the hut. There is evidence of late cultivation in the N part, which indicates that the enclosure is later than the hut.

Visited by OS (A A) 3 February 1971.

This hut-circle is situated in dense heather close to the Carnoch Burn.
