(07/04/1983) SX 6797 8468. Hut circle (site of). A hut is marked here on the historic Ordnance Survey maps of the area (e.g.: 1954 edition, 1:2500 scale).
The site is now (1983) obliterated by a large pile of rocks, which, according to a local resident were moved from Ordnance Survey plots 8965 and 8355 (1954 edition numbers) about 30 years ago, with one or two more recent additions. Resident did not recall seeing a hut circle on the site.
It is possible that the circle may survive buried beneath the pile of rocks but there is no sign of it at present time.
