ND02SE 23 097 242.
At ND 097 242, set back into a SE-facing hillslope, are three hut circles (A-C), now heavily obscured by peat accretion, so that all measurements are approximate.
'A' is about 9.0m E-W by 7.0m N-S within a heather-covered wall 0.2m high and spread to 2.0m. The entrance, of simple form, is in the E.
'B' measures 8.0m NW-SE by 7.0m internally; the wall is spread to a width of 5.0m at the entrance in the SE, but elsewhere it is indeterminate, about 0.2m high.
'C' is 8.0m in diameter within a wall, 0.3m high and spread to 2.0m; the entrance is in the SE. There is no trace of associated cultivation.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (N K B) 8 December 1982.
