NJ 5072 0714 Fieldwalking was carried out, March – July 2013, over an area of cleared forestry covering c12ha. An intensive grid based survey (80 x 80m) was carried out over a possible hut circle (NJ50NW 61) and a transect survey over the extended area. A barbed and tanged arrowhead and four sherds of beaker pottery were found close to the possible hut

circle and other worked flint and quartz pieces were recovered across the extended area. Two further monuments were identified during the fieldwalk: a hillside cairn (NJ 5106 0725) and a second circular feature (NJ 5099 0706).
