(24/04/1953) The vegetation on this part of the moor has been burnt and the loose rocks recently moved away, which probably accounts for the state of dilapidation of this hut circle. Inset on its western side into a steep slope and the floor is horizontal and pitted with rabbit holes. No finds were made in the scrapes or in the vicinity.
