'Hut circle c5m diameter, moss covered stone walls, partly dug into rising ground.'
R Wentworth 1989.
A rectangular building and a structure, previously described by R Wentworth (1989) as a hut-circle, were recorded by J Wordsworth during a pre-afforestation survey. The rectangular building measures 4.5m from NE to SW by 2.5m. The second structure lies about 10m to the E. It appears oval in shape, measuring 6m from E to W by 5m. An enclosure, measuring 40m in diameter lies about 50m to the E. There are also clearance cairns in the area.
