'Hut circle c. 7m diameter, stone walled.'
R Wentworth 1989.
This hut-circle, previously described by R Wentworth (1989), was visited during the course of a pre-afforestation survey by J Wordsworth. The site is now obscured by a fallen birch tree. A number of clearance cairns lie to the W and a, possibly later, turf bank runs S from the hut-circle along the course of a former track and a small burn.
