Description

Part of a settlement of at least 19 huts excavated in the 1950s. Sand encroachment has since buried most of the remains, and only one hut can now be positively identified, with a ring of stone defining its edge. Scatters of fire cracked stone seen around the huts.
Surveyed October 22. 12-14 m diameter stone hut circle, visible due to prior excavation.
