OS 6" map, (1961)

These are turf and heather-covered hut circles (A and B) discovered by the previous OS field investigator (J L D). They occur on separate knolls in open moorland, and are dissimilar in form.

Hut A, of massive proportions similar to Kilphedir hut V, measures about 12.0m in diameter within a wall of large stones, 0.4m internal height, spread to 2.0m average width broadening to 2.5m at either side of the entrance in the south east.

B is very slight, surviving as a low peat-silted platform 0.2m high and 11.0m overall diameter.

Occasional stones protrude through the peat around the periphery; no entrance is discernible. The area around each hut is smooth and relatively stone-free, and apart from two or three low piles of stones, this is the only indication of associated land use.

Visited by OS (J L D) 7 May 1969 and (N K B) 21 December 1978.

Scheduled (with NC64SE 15 and NC64SE 16 and NC74SW 1 and NC74SW 2 ) as Rosal, hut circles, Naver Forest, Strathnaver.
