Activities

Field Visit (2 November 2016)

The remains of this hut stand on a SE-facing slope about 50m from the top of the shore-line cliffs and on the western edge of an area of lazy-bed cultivation. It comprises two elements, that on the SSW being a subrectangular compartment measuring 3.2m from NW to SE by 2.7m transversely within grass-grown stone walls up to 1.4m thick and 0.8m high. The second element is attached to the NNE side of the first and at a slightly higher level. It is a smaller compartment measuring 2.6m in internal diameter. The lazy-beds are orientated NNW and SSE and measure an average of 3.6m in breadth by 0.5m in height.
