OS 6"map, (1963)
This is a hut circle within abandoned 18th/19th century settlement of westerly aspect. The hut, set into the slope, is 8.5m inside diameter, and the entrance is from the S. Its wall is overlaid in the NE by a later wall, and the W arc is partly destroyed by an intruding rectangular footing; elsewhere the wall remains as a low peat-silted spread 2.0m broad. The hut interior is crossed by a later wall, on a NW-SE axis.
