Full Description
NC75NW 94 7359 5881.
On the edge of a natural shelf on an E-facing slope is a dry-stone structure of indeterminate shape, overgrown with heather. It measures over all 17.5m N-S by 8.5m transversely; at its S end there are clear indications of a boulder-faced wall 1.4m wide describing a narrow arc (too narrow for a hut), but this fades into a linear tumble of rubble stones. Some loose stones also lie within the structure. At the SW arc are two upright slabs, 0.6m high, facing each other 1.9m apart.
This amorphous feature displays no distinctive shape and cannot be classified, though the boulder-faced construction at the S end suggests some antiquity. There is no evidence of cultivation nearby.
Visited by OS (NKB) 31 August 1977.
