What is recorded here
Located in a rough hill pasture terrace with occasional outcropping rock, on a SE-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 1.8m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.5m). The lower courses protrude above the surface of the bog. Rushes and rubble obscure the interior and rubble is also scattered downslope to the SE. Another hut site (CO114-079004-) abuts this hut site externally at the SW.
