Full Description
NC60SW 7 centred 6220 0305.
Centred at NC 6220 0305 is a settlement of three stone-walled huts (A-C) and a contemporary field system marked by stone clearance heaps and occasional lynchets.
'A' measures 7.5m NW-SE by 6.0m between the centres of an ill-defined wall destroyed in the NW. The entrance is in the SE.
'B' is 12.5m ESE-WNW by 10.0m between wall centres, with the entrance in the ESE.
'C' is well preserved with an inner wall face of slabs on edge giving an internal diameter of 7.5m. A few outer facing stones give a wall thickness of 1.4m. The ill-defined entrance is in the SE. Two walls springing from the S and SW arcs run respectively E and W before turning N, forming a contemporary enclosure about 70m E-W by 45m N-S.
