Huts.
Visited by OS (NKB) 27 April 1967.
(May equate ND34SW 17 Hut Circles).
The remains of two huts are situated on top of a large grass-grown rise between the N end of the pond at Broughwhin and the Garrywhin fort (ND34SW 3). Both huts have been reduced to little more than low subrectangular mounds, the northern measuring 5m from E to W by 3.5m transversely, and the southern 4.8m from ESE to WNW by 2.6m transversely. From the SE corner of the latter, a boulder wall extends downhill towards the pond.
