NC 7677 0109 An oval hut measuring 12.0m N-S by 11.5m between wall centres. The entrance is in the S.
Contemporary cultivation is indicated by one or two stone clearance heaps nearby.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J M) 17 July 1975.
A small structure, measuring 3m in diameter, with substantial 1m thick stone walls, about 20m to the ENE of the hut-circle previously recorded by the OS, was observed by J Wordsworth during a pre-afforestation survey.
An area of small cairns or clearance cairns was noted between the hut-circle and the Aberscross Burn (also described under NC70SE 4).
