Full Description
('A': NC 7768 1041 'B': NC 7769 1037 'C': NC 7769 1045) Enclosures (NR) OS 6"map, (1969)
An enclosure ('A') and two hut-circles ('B' and 'C') with another (unpublished) hut 'D' lying at NC 7773 1050.
Visited by OS (R D L) 23 April 1964.
'A', 'B' and 'C' are enclosures, probably part of the 18th to 19th century abandoned settlement in the area. 'D' is a hut-circle.
'A' is oval, measuring 15m NW-SE by 14m within a partly-overgrown, tumbled wall 1.4m in estimated width. The levelled site and the dimensions suggested that this is a hut, but the lack of entrance and its fresh appearance imply that it is a relatively modern enclosure.
'B' is roughly oval, measuring 6m by 5m within a crudely constructed wall of largish stones now displaced and overgrown. No entrance is apparent.
'C' is circular and measures 10m in diameter within a bare stone wall, 1.4m thick, which is roughly coursed in the south. No entrance is visible.
'D' is a ciruclar, stone-walled hut, set into the end of a small spur, and measures 8m in diameter within a reduced and overgrown wall spread to 2m. No entrance is visible. Any evidence of associated agriculture in the vicinity of the hut would have been destroyed by later cultivation. Surveyed at 1:10,560.
Visited by OS (J M) 16 March 1976.
