Building record MAB31743 - HILL OF KILRY

Site of a hut-circle and remains of possibly associated field system recorded by the OS in 1973.

Site of a hut-circle and remains of possibly associated field system recorded by the OS in 1973. Just off the summit of the Hill of Kilry, the poorly-preserved remains of a hut circle of 'Dalrulzian' type (double concentric rings forming one hut), was recorded. It measured circa 8.5 m in internal diameter and circa 15 m between the centres of the outer wall. The outer wall had been disturbed on the southwest and northeast arc by recent forestry ploughing. No entrance was evident. A lynchet and the remains of a field wall noted close by to the south may be contemporary. No traces were found of the hut-circle and associated features during a pre-afforestation survey by AOC (Scotland) Ltd in 1994, although a single small cairn was recorded to the east and a small mound to the north. Walkover survey in 2014 found possible trace of the hut circle as a slight raised area.
