NC45NE 20 4605 5994.
At NC 4605 5994 on fairly level moorland is a solitary hut circle measuring 10.0m in diameter within a wall almost entirely obscured by peat and heather. Only in the vicinity of the simple entrance in the NE arc is the wall clearly visible, 0.6m high and spread to 2.5m wide. Around the hut the ground is relatively stone-free, and one or two stone clearance heaps and linear clearance are visible, but no plots are evident.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (N K B) 20 December 1978.
