A hut circle now reduced to a scarp 0.4m high.

Visited by OS (R D L) 30 June 1963.
This oval stone-walled hut circle is on rising ground open to the W and in a modern field. It is turf- covered, and is about 9.0m N-S by 7.5m inside a severely reduced wall of vague spread 1.5-2.0m. The entrance of simple form is probably in the S arc. There is no evidence of contemporary cultivation.
Revised at 1:2500.
