OS 1:10,000 map, (1971)

Surveyed at 1:2500.

Visited by OS (N K B) 22 February 1966.

On the west flank of a hill shoulder are two hut circles (A and B) accompanied by a field system. 'B' is newly located at NC 7283 0496.

'A' levelled back into the slope, measures an estimated 12.0m diameter over an indeterminate wall; the entrance no longer survives.

'B', on a shelf, measures about 5.0 by 4.0m within a wall reduced to a peat-covered spread of 2.0m and 0.3m high; the entrance appears to be in the NE on the line of the main axis.

The field system is evident in numerous clearance heaps, spaced on average from 7.0 to 20.0m apart, interspersed with tenuous traces of occasional banks and lynchets. A plot 10.0m by 15.0m was noted.

Hut A- Revised at 1:10,000.

Hut B- surveyed at 1:10,000.

Visited by OS (J M) 12 March 1981.
