Full Description

NC75NW 84 744 577.
On SWfacing hill-slope, are two bracken and turf covered hut circles. The first hut at NC 7447 5780 is strongly built with some inner facing slabs visible. It measures approximately 9.5m in diameter within a spread wall 3.5m wide andup to 1m high. The entrance passage in the south defined by intermittent slabs on edge is about 4m wide. This hut resembles the Kilphedir Hut II type. The other hut at NC 7451 5776 is not so strongly constructed. It measures 8.5m in diameter within a wall, 1.7m wide and 0.4m in average height, defined by occasional facing stones. The wall widens slightly at the entrance in the south east but here the width is not measurable.
A few associated heather covered clearance heaps lie to west, but generally any traces of contemporary cultivation will have been destroyed by more recent land use contemporary with a rectangular footing 11. by 3m, 2 or 3 bothy footings and large clearance heaps situated in the vicinity.
Surveyed at 1:10000. Visited by OS (J B) 14 December 1978.
