AT NC 5974 5293 and NC 5967 5286 on a south-east facing hillside are two hut circles (A and B) accompanied by three or four scattered field clearance heaps; near hut 'A' is a possible plot 12.0 by 10.0m. Both huts are completely heather-covered.
'A', set into the slope, measures about 13.0 by 12.0m internally, and has an entrance from the SSE on the line of the long axis; the wall stands up to 0.7m high and is spread to 2.5m in the northerly half but elsewhere is practically disappeared.
'B', on a rise, remains only as a platform measuring 12.0m diameter. Surveyed at 1:10 000.
