What is recorded here
A large circular hut with a well-preserved drystone wall along its S half which averages .5m high and 1.9m wide. An entrance at SE features a threshold slab, exterior to which are two prostrate slabs which may have served as lintels. There is a mound of stone collapse in the interior at SE. A wall, probably contemporary, partially encircles the site at E.
