Summary
A possible hut circle, within the earthwork field system. It consists of a stony ring of turf 2 metres wide by 0.5 metres high with internal diameters of 5.6 metres east-west and 5 metres north-south. The interior of the bank has sharply defined edges and the floor is covered by a domed mound of humus, for which reasons there has to be some doubt as to the authenticity of the site as a hut.
