Archaeology Notes

NC60NW 42 6186 0972.

At NC 6186 0972, on formerly heather-covered moorland, now ploughed preparatory to afforestation, is a ruinous hut circle. Built onto a natural crest it measures 13.0m ESE-WNW by 10.5m within a wall spread to 2.0m and 0.3m high internally. Where the wall has been ploughed through little stone is evident in its construction. The entrance is in the

ESE. A few clearance heaps with their contents exposed are in the vicinity.

Surveyed at 1:10 000

Visited by OS (J B) 23 October 1980.
