Description
A group of two huts situated on a small shelf of land above marshy ground bordering the Afon Glochig. The two huts are separated by a gap of about 6m. the W hut is slightly larger of the two, it is oval in plan with an average diameter of 5.5m. A possible entrance existed at the E. The smaller hut to its E incorporates some large boulders that might already have been insitu at the time of construction. It is about 4.5m in diameter overall with a possible entrance at the SE. The walls of the larger hut have collapsed but both huts have walls of fairly loosely piled stones. some of the scattered stones in the vicinity appera once to have been part of organised wall lines or rudimentary fields or paddocks.
