There are no cairn-like heaps associated with
these huts.

Hut ruins &c.
On the NW. [North West] face of the Fell at an elevation
of 300' over sea level is a grassy plateau on
which are a number of hut ruins and from
this point they continue westward down the
slope of the hill. On the plateau there is
a circular ring formed with a bank of stone and turf
3' in thickness and
about 1' in height into which no entrance is
visible. Interiorly it measures 5' x 4'.
Adjacent to it is a larger one with an
interior diameter of 8' enclosed by a bank
3'.6" in thickness. The entrance has been from
the W. [West] and 2' in width. Some 20' to the W. [West] of
it is another similar in size to the first
described. There are many others reduced to
mere cairn-like heaps of stone & peat.
In a narrow gully to the N. [North] of the plateau
many more heaps may be seen, and here
there are indications of cross walls
forming enclosures as at Culroy.
At the base of the slope to the W. [West] of
the plateau is another small hut circle
with an interior diameter of 7', a bank
3' in thickness and an entrance from the
W. [West]. The interior seems to have been dug out
