Full Description
Remains of a hut-circle, now grass-grown. It measures circa 12m in diameter over a spread wall 2.8m thick and stands up to 0.5m high. There is a possible entrance on the northwest. A track running through the hut circle has created breaks in the northeast and southeast. There are also traces of low field dykes, cairns and field-banks. In the immediate vicinity there are at least four stony banks and three cairns, but these may be of more recent date.
