NC50SE 6 589 039.

(A: NC5901 0400) Hut Circle (NR). OS 1:10,000 map, (1970)

The remains of two hut circles (A and B) were found during field work. Visited by OS (R D L) 7 July 1963.

In flattish ground on a hillside facing the N are two stone-walled hut circles, 'A' published, and 'B', located at NC 5882 0397. Beyond the relatively stone-free ground on the low knoll in the vicinity of hut A, there are no traces of associated agriculture.
'A', peat-covered and severely depleted, is about 9.0m internal diameter within a wall of indeterminate width. The entrance of simple form is in the ESE arc.
'B', surviving marginally more in content, is about 5.0m ENE-WSW by 4.0m within a peat-covered wall spread to 1.5m; an entrance is from the ENE. The wall in the WSW arc is badly mutilated.
Hut 'B' - surveyed at 1:2500 and 1:10 000.
Visited by OS (J M) 3 August 1976.
