NH62NE 5 659 279.
Centred at NH 659 279 on the spine of a ridge sloping gently towards the NE, are two circular stone-walled huts (A & B) with field system, which are separated from NH 62 NE 4 by a wet gully.
Hut 'A' is 11.0m in diameter between the centres of a denuded wall of indeterminate thickness. In the NE arc are two outer facing stones. No entrance can be seen.
'B' is 11.0m in diameter between the centres of a denuded wall spread
to an indefinite width. One or two outer facing stones are visible. The entrance is not evident.
The field system comprises stone clearance heaps, lynchets and occasional ruined field walls, defining cultivation plots, varying in size between c. 40.0m by c. 20.0m and c. 20.0m by c. 15.0m.
Visited by OS (N K B) 26 March 1970.
Another hut 'C' measures c. 7.5m in diameter between the centres of a wall spread to c. 2.0m all round. The ill-defined entrance is in the E. Immediately N of the entrance the wall is overlaid by a clearance heap. Huts A - C surveyed at 1/2500.
