Full Description

The trapezoid burial ground measures approximately 80.0m by 50.0m at its widest. Two or three low, amorphous undulations occur within it. Some stone content is visible in places indicating that they may be the result of stone clearance. No footing was observed at NH 3115 2720; the position is poor and any structure here would be hidden from the burial ground by the hill-slope. The only footing noted in the area is an extremely vague structure at NH 3119 2724. It measures approximately 13.5m by 5.5m overall and is orientated NE-SW.
Surveyed at 1/10,000.
