OS 1:10,000 map, (1970)

Two enclosures were discovered during field investigation.

RCAHMS 1911, visited 1909; Visited by OS (J M) 30 June 1963.

These are stone-walled hut-circles (A and B) and an associated minor field system situated on undulating ground within reclaimed pasture. Both huts are poorly preserved.

'A' is 6.5m NW-SE by 5.0m transversely within a denuded, turf-covered wall of uncertain width. There is a vague entrance in the SE.

'B'is 10.0m N-S by 8.0m E-W within a reduced wall spread to 2.0m wide. The entrance has been from the south.

In the vicinity of the huts are about a dozen stone clearance heaps but no measurable cultivation plots are discernible.

Revised at 1/2500 and 1:10 000.

Visited by OS (J M) 10 August 1976.
