At NH 6925 8765 on the brink of a W-facing slope is a circular stone-walled hut measuring about 9.0m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to an indeterminate width by modern cultivation. The entrance is not evident.
On the slopes to the W of the hut are a few stone clearance heaps, probably from contemporary cultivation plots.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (I S S) 4 October 1973.
