OS 1:10,000 map, (1970)
On the W edge of a small contemporary field system, well marked by stone clearance heaps, and contained in the E by a field wall, is a hut circle. There is a later deserted settlement just to the S, see NC70SE 2.
The hut measures 7.5m in diameter within a wall composed of an inner face of contiguous slabs on edge, backed by rubble, with intermittent outer facing stones indicating a wall thickness of 1.4m widening to 2.0m at the entrance, 0.6m wide, in the S.
