Full Description

NB23SW 27 2099 3420.

There is a circular setting, approximately 8.6m internal diameter, within which there is a roughly level area made by cut and fill. There is a built-up stone bank less than 1m high on the downhill (NW) half of the perimeter.
It is located on the E side of a small valley which it overlooks, on sloping ground, from which peat has been cut leaving only thin grass and heather cover, below the N end of a small rock ridge to the E, and above a small stream to the W.
On its west side there is possibly a sub-circular setting, approximately 8m internal diameter, less well defined lower than the hut circle and cut by it.
