Full Description
At NC 6714 3842, on flattish ground of southerly aspect, is a very poorly-preserved hut circle. Nearby are one or two low clearance heaps but no plots are discernible. The hut, about 6m internal diameter, is obscure in N half, and elsewhere peat-silted, with some peripheral stone in evidence; an entrance is no longer apparent.
Surveyed at 1:10,560. Visited by OS (J M) 18 March 1977.
The southern arc, as described by the OS, is just about visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 2023. <1>
