Hut site in Garries

In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, with occasional rock outcrops and surface boulders, and with views SE to the valley of the Flesk. The remains of a roughly oval hut (3.55m N-S; 2.4m E-W) defined by the well-constructed, lower courses of a stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.7m) which is obscured by heather and moss. There is a collapsed entrance (Wth c. 0.5m) at E. The N portion of the interior is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The level interior is obscured by ferns. Rubble is scattered along the perimeter. Two other hut sites (KE075-056004-, KE075-056002-) are c. 20m to the E and c. 5m to the SW, respectively.
