NC74NW 14 centred 716 482.
Centred at NC 716 482, on a SE-facing slope, is a heather-covered hut circle and associated field system. The hut is 9.5m N-S by 7.5m within a wall spread to 1.5m, the vague entrance is in the south. Around the upper W half of the hut, there is a slight impression of a ditch up to 3.0m wide and 0.2m deep. The field system of about three hectares is most clearly marked around the hut. It is defined largely by clearance heaps, and occasional vague lynchets. A few indistinct plots averaging 30.0m by 15.0m are visible.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
