Full Description
Centred at NH 399 322 are three stone-walled huts (A to C) and a contemporary field system. The hut measurements are given between wall centres.
Hut 'A' is circular measuring about 10.5m in diameter. The wall in the NE arc is spread to about 2.5m, elsewhere it is scarcely visible. The 'simple' entrance, in the ESE, is flanked by two earth-fast stones 1.5m apart.
'B' is circular measuring about 13.0m in diameter with the wall spread to about 4.0m all round. The 'simple' entrance is in the ESE. 'C' is oval measuring about 12.5m from the W through the ill-defined entrance in the E, by about 10.5m transversely, with the wall spread to about 3.0m all round.
The field system consists mainly of stone clearance heaps with occasional lynchets. The cultivation plots are indistinct,but two that could be measured were about 30m by 20m.
Huts surveyed at 1/10 000.
