NO06SE 18 0546 6112.
At NO 0546 6112 is a circular stone-walled hut visible as a platform surrounded by a peat-obscured wall best preserved in the W arc. It measures 12.0m in diameter between wall centres. The entrance is not evident.
Some 40 metres to the W is another vague platform about 12.0m in diameter which could be the remains of another hut.
Nearby are a few probably contemporary stone clearance heaps, but several walls and traces of rig and furrow cultivation are associated with two late rect- angular building foundations to the NW.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.

Field Visit (4 May 1988)
The remains of this hut-circle are situated on a terrace on a S-facing slope 300m N of the Tullochcurran Burn, and have recently been ploughed and planted with young conifers. The hut-circle appears to have measured about 9m in diameter within a stony bank. About 40m W of the hut-circle there is a probable house-platform (about 12m in diameter) terraced into the gentle S-facing slope. It too has now been ploughed and the furrows have revealed a mass of boulders and stones forming the apron at the front. Visited by RCAHMS (JRS) 4 May 1988. RCAHMS 1990
