(NC 683 407) Tumuli (NR)

OS 6"map, Sutherlandshire, 1st ed., (1873)

(NC 6836 4078) Enclosure (NR)

OS 6" map, (1961)

A small enclosure or hut circle, found during field investigation, within an area of formerly cultivated land bearing field clearance heaps. The enclosure considerably mutilated, measures 11.5m by 9.5m and consists of an earth and stone bank, 0.2m high and spread to 2.5m broad, with an entrance, 2.5m wide in the south.

Visited by OS (J L D) 11 May 1960.

This hut circle at NC 6836 4080 is as described above. It lies within forestry, but due to its position in a ride it has not been totally destroyed. The field clearance heaps have been obscured and disfigured by the forestry.

Revised at 1:10,000.

Visited by OS (J B) 7 July 1978.
