At NH 6728 9859, on a shelf high up on a S-facing hillside is a hut circle. It measures approximately 6.5m in diameter within a wall reduced to a heather-covered rubble spread at most pronounced 0.2m high and 1.5m broad. The entrance is in the SE. A gap in the NW arc is almost certainly a later break-through. There are no strict signs of associated land-use, but the vicinity of the hut is relatively stone-free, and there is some suggestion of linear clearance onto the down-slope S from the hut.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J M) 29 August 1980.
