Round enclosure on Carman Muir
The feature was originally reported as a hut circle; however, as described in the end-note, it was later considered more likely that this had been an animal enclosure. See the WoSAS link in the end-note for further details.
Short of planting little flags around the perimeter, or submitting a stereogram, there is no way to make this feature clearly visible in photographs. It is not evident in satellite imagery either.
It is about 14 metres across (45 feet) across; the circular interior is enclosed by a low, inconspicuous bank. Click on the end-note title for related views.
In the present picture, parts of the bank are visible because they are a little darker and greener than the surrounding muir. The left-hand edge of the circle is in front of, and slightly to the left of, the pylon on the left, and the right-hand edge of the circle is in front of the tiny section of partly snow-covered distant hills visible near the right-hand edge.

Circular enclosure on Carman Muir
A low, indistinct, circular bank, about 14 metres in diameter, outlines this feature, which is difficult to pick out on the ground. It was originally reported as a hut circle, but a later opinion (see comments from 2014 in Link
at WoSAS) is that it had probably been an animal enclosure. See Link
for a satellite view centred on this feature (which is, depending on the date of the images, either invisible or barely visible in satellite imagery).
