Field Visit (19 June 1995)

NC60NE 15.03 6793 0560

The remains of this hut-circle are situated within the township of Caolas, on a bracken-covered shelf on a NE-facing hillside. Quarrying has destroyed the wall on the N and NE, but the hut-circle appears to have had a diameter of 9.8m within a wall 0.5m high, faced on the inside with edge-set slabs, and now spread to 1.5m in thickness.
