Full Description
Remains of a hut circle with hollow interior. Before excavation by Abercromby in 1904 there was a mound at the east end, below which a paved area was found. Some of the paving stones were set in iron pan and Abercromby believed these to be natural, but this is not necessarily so. There is a cup-like recess in the south wall of the hut. Part of a more extensive field system/settlement (NJ40SW0007).
