One of a group of 12 hut circles and/or shieling mounds, forming the Glen Dhoo settlement, which is centred on SC35308988 and thought to represent a probable Early Medieval settlement of Block Eary type.  


This example consists of the northwest half of a circle which has otherwise been obliterated by soil creep. There is one large quartz block in the centre of the feature and around the remaining perimeter the tops of stones indicates that it was originally a circular structure measuring 2.5 metres in diameter.


The hut circles are situated on a marshy ground around the gathering point of a northwest flowing stream. The ground rises in all directions to surrounding hills, apart from the northwest, where after 180 metres of gentle downward flow the stream plunges steeply to the valley below.  The huts are invisible from the valley below but an outlying hut to the east seems almost to act as a look-out. The shallow course of the stream which passes between the huts shows traces of some disturbance. There are fragments of banks in the area, the purpose of which has not been deduced. No entrances have be found to any of the huts.
