Description
Circular feature measuring about 10m in diameter. It is very difficult to see and is only recognisable as a low (0.2m high) curving scarp on the south side. Some stones marking the wall protrude through the vegetation but they are indistinguishable from the natural boulders without close inspection. Most of the wall is entirely overgrown. The hut circle is located in a sheltered hollow west of a rocky knoll through it is rather open to the west. Just uphill from the hut circle is a flat area of ground between rocky outcrops that could have been a field, although no boundaries or clearance cairns are visible.
