Description
A hut circle is located on the south side of a stream on a sloping shelf close to the point where ground falls away more steeply to the south. Slightly terraced into the rising ground the hut circle projects about 0.4m high on the south. It is defined by a broad low stony bank 1m wide and 0.2m-0.3m high enclosing an area 6m across.
The entrance was probably on the east or north-east where it opened out onto an oval/sub-rectangular annex or yard defined by a low stony bank. The site is possibly part of a larger system indicated by vestigial banks visible on both sides of the stream.
