NB03NE 5 084 364.
(Area: NB 084 364) An irregular setting of small boulders, apparently the remains of a hut-circle, lies some 30' above HWM on the steep sand-covered slope to the SE of Clibhe Sands.
Built on a sharp slope, the stones have been dislodged and shifted from their original position by the removal of sand by the wind.
