NH84SE 4 8668 4307.
At NH 8668 4307, set into a SE slope, is a circular stone-walled hut measuring c. 13.0m in diameter between the centres of a denuded wall spread to an indeterminate width. The entrance is not evident. About 35.0m to the SSE of the hut is a roughly circular platform c. 13.0m in diameter which may be another denuded hut, or may be a fortuituous arrangement formed by a lynchet and field clearance.
Below the hut is an area of stone clearance heaps and occasional lynchets forming a contemporary field system. Details of the fields are greatly obscured by peat but two can be seen to measure about 40.0m by 20.0m and 30.0m by 15.0m.
Divorced survey at 1/10,000.
