Full description

The possible remains of a hut circle were found in 1986 (h1). They consist of a D-shaped platform, 0.8m high, cut into the hillslope and enclosed by a stony bank, 0.8m wide and 0.3m high, on its east side. On the west it is bounded by a modern field wall. It is possible that the hut remains extend to the west side of this wall, but in 1986 this area was too overgrown to identify these (h1).
