Full Description
NH52NE 2 5804 2748.
At NH 5803 2748 on a recently cultivated rise is a circular, stone-walled hut measuring c. 11.0m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread c. 3.0m all round. A gap, c. 2.0m wide, in the SE arc indicates the mutilated entrance, to the W of which the outer wall face is visible as a line of stones set on edge.
Extending from the NW arc of the hut in a NW direction is a linar stone clearance heap, and outside the entrance is a stony mound, possible another clearance heap. About 200.0m NE on a separate rise are a few stone clearance heaps possibly from contemporary plots.
