Full Description
Settlement and field system comprising hut circles, and stone clearance heaps. OS site visit 1972 recorded the three huts. Hut A has entrance in the south, flanked on the east side by an earthfast stone. Hut B, 7m in diameter, is heavily overgrown with turf and has a bracken- covered southwest entrance. Hut C is attached to the northeast side of Hut B with no trace of an entrance or communicating passage. It was in a poor state of preservation but appeared to be of similar dimensions. RCAHMS site visit in 1983 noted a single possible hut circle (NO 85999036) about 5m in diameter, situated at the east end of a group of cairns and banks extending over 9ha. There are about 70 cairns, up to 6m in diameter and 0.6m high, and at least three stony banks. The other two hut circles recorded in 1972 were concluded to be a two compartment enclosure, probably a sheepfold.
