OS 6" map, Perthshire, 2nd ed., (1901)
NO 170 260. One ('D') of a group of five hut circles (Information from M E C Stewart, 29 August 1953) was investigated by the Archaeological Section of Perthshire Society of Natural Science. The interior was roughly paved and was surrounded by a turf and stone wall, lined with boulders. There was a possible hearth. A grave containing a cremation was subsequent to the primary occupation.
CBA 1950.
Five circular enclosures were locted in the area centred on NO 171 262. They are as follows:-
A. Grassy outline 12.0m diameter; no entrance apparent.
B. 11.0m diameter centre to centre bounded by a grass-covered stony bank c. 4.0m maximum width, 1.2m high externally and 0.3m internally (maxima). Flanking bank on south side may have been in the NW side.
C. 15.3m diameter centre to centre bounded by a turf-covered stony bank 0.5m and 0.3m maximum external and internal heights respectively. The interior is scooped while the entrance is in the WNW side.
D. 17.0m overall diameter. The stone wall of this enclosure, 1.3m thick, is exposed along the entire SW half and has a maximum height of 0.6m. There are two gaps in the circle and it is not possible to say which is the entrance. The floor of the enclosure is of stone but partly now grassed over.
E. 13.8m diameter centre to centre bounded by a turf-covered stony bank 0.6m and 0.5m maximum external and internal heights respectively; the probable entrance is in the NW side. The interior is slightly scooped. Surveyed at 1:2500.
