NR46SW 4 4012 6372.

NR 402 637. Round house, 24ft internal diameter; wall spread 3ft-9ft, containing raised oval, 9ft by 3ft. To the north is a vague enclosure, 36ft square.

I D Shanks 1974.

At NR 4012 6372, on a low limestone ridge, is a hut circle measuring 8.5m in diameter within a low turf-covered stone wall spread to 2.0m and 0.4m high. The entrance is in the east. The small turf-covered platform mentioned above within the hut at the entrance is a later bothy, and is 3.5m E-W by 2.5m and 0.2m above the general floor level. The other enclosure mentioned above, 28.0m NNE of the hut circle, is visible as a slightly sunken sub-rectangular area 13.0m. N-S by 11.5m internally. The surrounding 'wall' is much confused by out-cropping limestone, to the extent that the feature may be entirely natural.

Surveyed at 1:10 000.

Visited by OS (N K B) 3 July 1978.
