OS 6" map, (1964)
Two hut circles and an enclosure were located during field investigation.
Visited by OS (W D J) 24 May 1960.
Situated on a heather clad SW-facing hill slope is a settlement of three hut circles of similar form. The walls have an average spread of 3.0m widening to 5.0m at the entrances. All huts are heavily revetted on the downslope arc. The huts measure internally 'A' 9.0m N-S by 7.5m, and 'B' and 'C' 8.0m N-S by 7.0m. All have entrances in the south.
A small indefinite field system lies to the SE of the huts, delineated by lynchets and a few clearance heaps. Measurable plots average 35.0m by 20.0m.
Revised at 1/10,000.
Visited by OS (J B) 7 May 1976.
