Abstract:		 The first hut-circle was situated on a gentle slope. Removal of turf and heather exposed a rough pavement of water-worn stones of all shapes and a considerable boulder at the entrance. There was also removed a large quantity of small stones, and debris, which presumably filled the spaces between the uneven stones and made a more or less level floor. A hearth was located in the interior with sherds of pottery nearby. The less well preserved second hut-circle lay on fairly flat ground. The circle seems to have been divided into quadrants three of which had probable hearths. A pit in the centre of the circle contained fragments of an urn. A third excavated structure was rectangular with a hearth in its north-west corner. Both glazed and unglazed pottery were found.
