Noted during pre-afforestation survey

D Ross 1983.

Situated on a terrace is a hut circle measuring internally 8.5m E-W by 7.5m N-S within a wall, best preserved on the W where large inner and outer facing stones give a wall width of 1.3m. Entrance lies on the W. Two short stretches of low stoney banking about the entrance on each side indicating an annexe. No trace of contemporary land use.
