Summary

Lies to the south-west of the main settlement (MDV4995). Hut has simple plan and double orthostat walling type. Interior measures 6.5m in diameter and is defined by a 2.7m wide wall standing up to 0.7m high. A south-facing gap in the wall represents an original doorway. Despite re-use of this area during the post-Medieval period and later forestation, this hut circle survives relatively well.
