NH59SE 10 5694 9446.
Centred on NH 5694 9446, is an area of stone clearance heaps. Amongst them at NH 5693 9443 are the remains of what may be a mutilated hut circle measuring about 11.0m in diameter. All that survives is a curving stony bank spread to 2.5m which may represent the W half. A track crosses it, and the E half is destroyed. The interior is not particularly level. No entrance is evident.
Visited by OS (A A) 4 October 1973.
The alleged remains of a hut circle are very dubious, and the heaps noted as of stone clearance seem more likely resulting from tree uprootings and/or similar natural disturbances.
Visited by OS (J M) 28 November 1976.
