NH93NE 5 985 383
At NH 9857 3830 on a gentle SE-facing slope is a denuded circular stone-walled hut visible as a raised platform about 8.0m in diameter. There are traces of walling around the NE arc. The entrance is not evident. The hut occurs near the SE edge of a small contemporary field system marked by stone clearance heaps and a few lynchets, with fields averaging about 20.0m x 10.0m.
Inconspicuously placed amongst the clearance heaps at NH 9850 3834 is a probably contemporary cairn with a kerb of contiguous stones on edge visible intermittently around the perimeter. It measures 8.0m in diameter and is 0.5m high. The centre has been howked, but probably not sufficiently to disturb the burial.
Hut and cairn surveyed at 1/10,560.
