Full Description
A hut circle at Coire Ruchain.
At NH 4865 9276 there is an oval stone-walled hut visible as a platform built on a S-facing slope. It measures 13.0m NW-SE by 10.5m between the centres of an ill-defined wall with a poorly preserved entrance in the SE. Almost central to the hut is a slight mound (1.5m in diameter and 0.1m high) of uncertain purpose. To the NE are a few stone-clearance heaps probably from contemporary cultivation.
Surveyed at 1/10,000.
