Full Description
Remains of hut circles and a field system. The huts are formed by low turf-covered banks with entrances, where visible, to the northeast. There are four huts together with a probable hut, considerably mutilated, to the southeast. The field system comprises a number of heather-covered stone clearance heaps and a few scarcely recognisable fields defined by heaps and vague lynchets and field banks. Walkover survey carried out by AOC in 2021 ahead of a proposed windfarm development (NJ33SE0099) recorded a number of features: at NJ3911833063 a possible denuded chambered cairn.
