Full Description

NM48NE 9 4744 8747 to 4745 8746.

At NM 4746 8744 is a circular stone-walled hut measuring about 10.0m in diameter. The W arc is visible as a scarp where the hut is set into the slope. The entrance is in the E and is ill-defined. Attached to the W side of the hut at a higher level, above the back scarp, is an oval platform measuring 3.5m N-S by 2.5m and marked by a similar back scarp. Some 10.0m to the NW of the hut is a smaller hut marked by a heavily peat-covered wall spread to 2.5m and measuring 5.5m between its centres. A gap in the E arc may be the entrance. There is no trace of cultivation contemporary with the huts.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
