Archaeology Notes

NC14NE 1 1695 4773.

(NC 1695 4772) An earthen circle, 9m in diameter and 0.5m high.

Information from OS, May 1973.

At NC 1695 4773, on a rise at the N side of a loch, is a hut circle. It measures some 8.0m by 7.0m internally with an entrance in the SSE on the line of the long axis. The hut wall is reduced to a peat-covered rubble spread, 2.0m broad and up to 0.4m high.

The vicinity of the hut circle is relatively stone-free, but there are no stone clearance heaps or lynchets visible.

Surveyed at 1:10,000.

Visited by OS (J M) 15 May 1980.
