Notes
HER: Hut circle A; One of three huts. All appear to be of single wall type and have no associated enclosure or field system. They are cut into the northern slopes of a hill, and it is only in this hut that an entrance is visible. It consists of a sill and two orthostats only, but is remarkable for the width of the sill and for the height of the orthostats (up to 1.7 metres).Butler (1991): Two stones remain of the northern hut, one a massive slab measuring 2.7 x 1.8 m high, but the outline is preserved by the field wall which follows part of the curve of the hut wall.
