Full Description
Remains of a hut circle, the entrance not clear. Also a field system marked by stone clearance heaps, lynchets, and occasional field walls, with plots of 40m by 15m and 20m by 35m. Great numbers of cairns were observed in field visit in 1957, especially on the lower slopes (though the area was heavily overgrown at the time. On some higher ground which had reverted to heather after improvement they appeared to have been ploughed down. At least one hut circle was noted. Visited by RCAHMS on 3 July 1991. At this time the hut circle was little more than a platform measuring 8m in diameter over a fragmentary bank spread to about 1m in breadth and 0.2m in height. A break in the bank to the east may be the entrance.
