Full Description

There is clear evidence of settlement remains in the form of three rectangular houses of respectable size - about 2.5-3.0m by up to 8m long internally. A blanket of snow prevented the locating of cultivation traces and it can be presumed that the village inhabitants may not have wintered here, and it may have served as a overnight stop for drovers.
