(SX 5898 6536) Hut C. One of 7 hut circles forming part of a partially enclosed settlement. Simple plan and double orthostat walling type. Interior measures 6.1m in diameter and is surrounded by a 1.5m wide wall standing up to 0.8m high, except on the west side where a slight terrace survives. It is considered likely that this length of walling was robbed for building material.
