Full Description
Centred at NH 397 311 and separated from NH 33 SE 1 by an area of marshy ground are three stone-walled huts (A-C) and a contemporary field system. The huts measure from 12.0m to 13.0m in diameter between wall centres each with a simple entrance, about 1.5m wide, in the SE arc. The wall of each is spread to about 3.0m increasing to about 5.0m at the W side of the entrance. Within hut B just inside the entrance and lying against the wall, are two clearance heaps.
50.0m WNW of 'B' is a sub-circular level area, about 10.0m NE-SW by 8.0m which is bounded on the SW by a stony built up, and in the NE by three clearance heaps. Not a hut.
The field system comprises lynchets and stone clearance heaps forming cultivation plots, measuring about 40.0m by 20.0m average size. Two later, rectangular buildings occur on the SW side of the field system. Huts surveyed at 1/2500.
