Full Description

NH59NE 14 584 993.

At NH 5867 9910 ('A') and NH 5867 9926 ('B') are two stone-walled huts, and an associated field system.
Hut 'A' is set into a steep SW slope and is circular within a stone wall spread to about 3.0m at the rear and 5.5m at the clubbed entrance in the SW. It measures 14.0m NE-SW by 13.0m between wall centres.
Hut 'B' occurs on level ground, and is circular with a wall spread to about 1.8m all round. It measures about 7.5m in diameter between wall centres. There is an ill-defined entrance in the SE.
The field system centred at NH 584 993 is defined by stone clearance heaps, with lynchets and occasional field walls forming cultivation plots of about 30.0m by 20.0m average sizes.
20 metres SE and 95m NNW and 100m NW of 'A' and 40m SW and 70m SSE of 'B', are five platforms, two of which are probably natural, and three probably due to cultivation, although somewhat resembling huts.
Huts 'A' and 'B' surveyed at 1:10 560.
