Found during field investigation at NH 58069819 and NH 58049811 on a westerly slope are two stone-walled huts ('A' and 'B') and an associated field system.
'A' is visible as an oval platform measuring about 15.0m N-S by 12.5m bounded by the ill-defined remains of a stone wall. No entrance is evident.
'B' - 12.5m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to about 3.0m which is best preserved in the E half. The simple entrance is in the S.
In the vicinity of the huts are a number of stone clearance heaps, and occasional lynchets and field walls, forming cultivation plots of 25.0m by 15.0m average size.
Huts surveyed at 1:10 560.
