Summary
A hut circle on sloping ground and cut across by a maintained field wall. It survives as a low earthwork feature with hardly any stone visible. The surrounding wall is a slight bank 1.8 - 2.3m wide, 0.3m high externally and 0.1m high internally. One projecting stone on the NW interior may be an in situ facing slab. The internal diameter is c.6.5m. No entrance is visible. The western arc is overlain by a maintained, drystone field wall. Consequently, three quarters of the hut circle lie in one field with no surface remains in the adjacent field.
