Visited in 1992. SX 5590 8390 Hut circle surviving as earthwork terraced into the hillslope. Simple plan type. The interior measures 6 metres in diameter and is defined by a 1.8 metres wide wall standing up to 0.3 metres high. The doorway faces south-west. Fragments of rubble walling have been identified to the south of this hut, although it is not clear whether these represent field-plots or an enclosure boundary. Earthworks associated with peat cutting lie immediately north-west.
