(NC 6015 3501) Hut Circles (NR)
OS 6"map, (1964)
Two conjoined hut-circles, composed of earth and stone banks discovered during field investigation on the summit of a knoll. The better-preserved is about 8.0m in diameter internally within a bank 0.3m in maximum height, whose SE arc,which probably contained the entrance, has been destroyed. The second hut abuts the first on the south and is about 10m in diameter, best defined on the east where the bank is 0.5m high and spread to 2.0m. The west side has been entirely destroyed. The entrance is in the NE probably adjacent to that of the other hut. A few clearance heaps lie around the huts.

The hut circles are as described above. The small number of clearance heaps is the only trace of contemporary cultivation in the vicinity. No plots are discernible.
Revised at 1/10,000.
