Field Visit (November 1988)
Two hut-circles, recorded by the OS ('A' and 'B') on the NW flank of the Hill of Easter Bleaton, are now inaccessible within a forestry plantation and no attempt was made to visit them. A third hut-circle, however, was identified on aerial photographs on a knoll immediately above the enclosed pasture at the foot of the hill (NO 1445 5814). It has been ploughed and planted but is still recognisable as a stony ring with an internal diameter of about 8m.
