OS 6"map, (1959)
Centred at NJ 102 537, on a N facing slope are two stone walled huts (A and B) and a contemporary field system - not burial cairns.
Hut 'A' is circular measuring about 12.5m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to about 2.5m in the W E and S but destroyed for 8.0m in the N. The entrance is ill-defined.
Linear clearance and a lynchet, immediately to the E of hut 'A' are described by Dickson (OS field investigator, 23 August 1965) as a possible hut.
Hut 'B' measures about 11.5m NE-SW between the centres of an ill-defined wall spread to about 2.5m the NW arc is destroyed by a road and the rubble core of the wall is exposed here. The entrance is not evident. The interior has been used as a turning place for vehicles.
The field system, marked by stone clearance heaps and occasional lynchets is covered by scrub and whin, and no measurable plots were obtained.
Huts surveyed at 1/2500. (Visited by OS (R D) 23 August 1965)
