Blackbank Prehistoric Hut Circles Two small enclosures remain in unimproved moorland 590m NNW of Blackbank steading. The sub-square NW enclosure measures 10m from NW to SE by 10.5m transversely within a heather-covered bank up to 1.8m thick and 0.3m high. A narrow gap on the SE may be an entrance. To the SE, a roughly circular enclosure measuring about 10m in diameter remains on a low knoll. Three subrectangular structures up to 4m in length are near the first enclosure. A low turf bank runs past the enclosures a few metres to the S and may be contemporary.
