NR 8935 2980 A heather-covered hut circle situated on gently sloping moorland at 250ft OD. The earth and stone bank, spread to 4.0m and up to 1.0m high, encloses a level interior 7.5m in diameter. The entrance is not clear; however a slight lowering of the bank in the south-east would seem to indicate its position.
Clearance mounds lie to the south (NR82NE 9).
Surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (TRG) 20 October 1977.
