Full Description
Remains of a hut-circle, buildings, enclosures and huts. Recorded by the RCAHMS during field survey. In moorland on the east-northeast flank of the Hill of Balbae there is a group of four large conjoined enclosures, measuring overall about 430m from north-northwest to south-southeast by 125m transversely, within which there are the footings of five buildings, a hut, a small rectangular enclosure and a pen. Each of the large enclosures contains one building, except for the largest (the southernmost), which has two. A hut-circle at NO 35494 67266 measures 7.5m in diameter within an earthen bank up to 1.9m in thickness. The interior has been levelled into the slope on the west and the wall on the east is carried on a low platform.
