A ring cairn, 15m in diameter. which can be seen in the foreground to the ruined farmhouse. A geophysical survey was commissioned in 2019, details are in the videos linked in the comments on our page. The survey showed activity in the centre, so the site could alternatively be a hut circle. Excavation would be needed to know more.
