Activities

Field Visit (9 April 1981)

On a ridge are three hut circles (A-C) (hut C newly located at NC 7375 0661) and an accompanying field system. The complex of features is generally as planned by the RCAHMS (1911).

Hut C measures 7.0m in diameter within a heather-covered wall, obscure in the NW sector but elsewhere 2.0m to 2.5m broad and up to 0.4m high. The entrance is not evident.

Field Visit (11 May 1995)

NC70NW 18.02 7379 0650

The remains of four circular and oval hut-circles are disposed across the top and flanks of the ridge to the N of Dremergid. They range in diameter from 6.6m by 5.8m (ROG95 7) to 9.5m by 7.7m (ROG95 8) within stony banks up to 1.5m in thickness and 0.4m in height. A fifth hut-circle (ROG95 953), which is larger than the others, measures 13.8m in diameter within a stony bank spread to 1.7m in thickness and 0.3m in height. The position of the entrance is visible in two of the hut-circles, lying on the SE (ROG95 8) and SSE (ROG95 953). One hut-circle is overlain by a field-bank from a later field-system (NC70NW 18.04).
