Full Description
Remains of a possible enclosure, and hut circle. Ogston in 1931 recorded a drystone wall enclosure (at circa NO41709925) measuring circa 24.4 m by 22.8 m with an entrance on the northeast side. There are also one large and three small cairns within 230 m of the enclosure. OS (1967) found no trace of the reported enclosure, but at NO41559926 noted vague stone footings of possible hut circle measuring 11 m by 8.5 m with an entrance in northeast, and two small stone clearance heaps nearby.
