Monument record MHG45043 - Helgry Township

NC82SE 25 852 213.

This deserted township of about six hectares comprises five buildings and a corn-drying kiln together with small associated enclosures. The township is bounded in the NE and NW by a wall within which is an area of cultivation with bare stone clearance heaps. Additionally at NC 8525 2144 there are the remains of a sub-oval enclosure measuring 11m N-S by 9.5m E-W; within it lies a rectangular footing, 9m by 3m. The walls are between 1.2m and 1.8m wide, with large blocks on the S side, where the entrance is located. Although this feature resembles a hut-circle with a later internal structure, its somewhat irregular shape suggests it is contemporary or nearly so with the other structures at Helgry.
