NN96SE 19 9719 6049 and 9724 6049.
At NN 9719 6049 set into a S-facing slope is a hut-circle (A) 15.0m in diameter between wall centres. Peat and heather obscure the wall in the E but the W half has been burnt off revealing several inner and outer facing stones giving a wall thickness of 1.3m where best preserved in the SW. The ill-defined entrance is in the S. At NN 9724 6049 is another hut (B) levelled into a S-facing slope and measuring 13.5m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to about 2.5m. Three of four stones on edge within the hut in the W and N show this to be a Dalrulzian hut with an internal area of about 9.0m. The entrance is in the S.
To the SW of the huts are a few stone clearance heaps, from contemporary cultivation.
Surveyed at 1/10,000.
