NJ23NW 7 2161 3731.

At NJ 2161 3731 is an ill-defined oval stone-walled hut within a contemporary field system.

The hut measures about 12.5m N to S by about 10.5m transversely between the centres of a wall spread to an indeterminate width. The entrance is not evident.

A heather-covered mound, about 4.0m in diameter and about 2.0m high, situated eccentrically within the hut, could be either a peat hag or a stone clearance heap. The field system is marked by stone clearance heaps and lynchets farming plots averaging about 30.0m by 20.0m.

Hut Surveyed at 1/2500.

Visited by OS (R L) 12 March 1971.
