Details Group of at least 65 cairns and a hut circle recorded over an area of 6 hectares. The cairns are up to 3m in diameter and 0.5m high. At two places among them are roughly parallel rickels of stones set 3m to 10m apart, at least three occurring on the west (NO 804 877) aligned north-northwest to south-southeast, and six on the east (NO 805 876). The well preserved hut circle (NO 8028 8770) measures about 7.5m in diameter within a wall of up to 1.5m thick and 0.4m high. On the downhill side the wall has been placed on the edge of an artificial platform up to 0.6m high, but there is little to suggest that the interior of the hut circle has been into the slope on the uphill side.
