OS 6"map, (1962)

A heather covered hut circle discovered during field investigation.

Visited by OS (W D J) 5 May 1960.

This hut circle, obscured by peat and heather, measures 7.5m in diameter within a wall spread to 1.7m and up to 0.7m high externally. The vague entrance is in the south east. There is no trace of associated cultivation; ruinous walling and straight banking in the vicinity are probably more recent.

Visited by OS (J B) 29 June 1977.
