At NH 6193 9806, on a natural shelf in the margin of an area of 18th - 19th century depopulation, is a hut circle, surviving as a platform 13.5m in diameter with some peripheral, turf-covered rubble in the S half. There are tenuous indications of an entrance in the SE. In the N quarter of the hut circle is the turf-and-stone footing of a later bothy-type structure.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
