NR93SW 62 9096 3226.

NR 9096 3226. A circular mound, possibly a cairn but most probably a hut circle, occupying a slight E facing rise under peat and heather, was found during field investigation.

It measures 13.5m in overall diameter and 1.2m in maximum external height. A slightly dished interior 6.0m in overall diameter and 0.4m deep has a scattering of small stones but none was detected around the rim or sides. No entrance was found.

There is no evidence of an associated field system.

Surveyed at 1:10 000.

Visited by OS (JRL) 18 September 1977.
