There are up to 19 hut circles in this group and I probably found up to ten of them. Most are pretty badly smashed but the hut circle at NO10025694 is the best preserved example of this type I've ever seen. The Canmore link gives all the details and has some nice aerial pics. The terrain between various cairns, circles and standing stones is littered with boulders and circular mounds. Highland agriculture has probably dislodged more than it's fair share.

I missed a lot of hut circles. To be fair most are under the heather but the hut circle near The Grey cairn is the best HC I've ever seen.
