Full Description
The remains of a building set on the flat grassy former area of rig and furrow cultivation. Its E gable end is the clearest indication of it being the remains of a building, as its sidewalls are only complete for approximately 6m from the gable, although there is plenty of stone scattered to its S side. Its W gable end is completely overgrown by reeds. Where preserved, its walls are a single course high and wide. It measures 23m x 3m and its longsides trend 2680. There is a possible centrally placed internal division. The majority of its stone has possibly been robbed out for the construction of the substantial building, one of the 'enclosures' of MHG18418. <1>
