NG26SE 10 2618 6281

What may be a hut-circle is situated on a slight knoll on the W side of the track from Geary to the sheepfold in the valley of the Abhainn a'Ghlinne. Overall it measures about 7m in diameter and up to 0.5m in height and has been encroached upon by peat cutting. There is an arc of boulders, possibly outer facing stones; a very low bank runs from the W to the SE.
