Archaeological Notes

NJ81SW 182 8465 1442

This hut circle is situated on an E-facing terrace in rough pasture on the E flank of Blue Hill. It measures about 6.8m in diameter within a wall 0.8m in thickness and 0.3m in height. Both inner and outer facing-stones can be seen around its circuit, and a possible entrance on the SW is flanked on the E by a single large boulder, and on the W by two smaller stones. The W half of the interior is masked by field-cleared stones. On the hill immediately W of the hut-circle there are at least twenty-three small cairns, the largest of which measures about 7m in diameter.
