What is recorded here
In rough, heather-clad pasture, broken by rock outcrops, on a W-facing slope. The remains of a D-shaped hut (2.9m SE-NW) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.2-0.3m) with a straight NW side (L 2.4m). An upright stone slab (H 0.6m; 1.1m x 0.15m) and a smaller one, form part of the wall at SE. There is an entrance (Wth 0.45m) at SW which is defined by two upright stone slabs (H 0.6m; 0.55m x 0.10m at NW and H 0.45m; 0.55m x 0.2m at SE). The W portion of the interior is raised (H 0.1m) and the NE portion is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope.
