NO15SE 23 centred on 195 549.
Centred at NO 195 549 is a settlement of six circular stone-walled huts (A - F), two enclosures (G, H), a contemporary field-system, and a cup marked boulder.
'A' is 9.0m in diameter between the centres of a wall of bare stones, spread to 2.5m, with an ill-defined entrance in the SE.
'B' is 13.0m in diameter between the centres of a wall of indeterminate width. The entrance is in the SSE. Attached to the N arc is a small oval annexe measuring 7.0m by 5.5m.
'C' and 'D' are an unusual "Dalrulzian" complex (similar to huts 'C' and 'D' of NO 15 SW 8). 'C' measures 10.0m internally and 'D' measures 8.0m internally. Both occur within a common outer wall, and their entrances are in the SSE. Outside the SE arc of hut 'D' at NO 1956 5498, is a naturally-placed boulder bearing four cup marks on its horizontal surface.
'E' is 7.0m in diameter between the centres of a wall of indeterminate width. The entrance is in the SE.
'F' is a "Dalrulzian" hut measuring 8.5m internally, and 14.5m between the centres of the outer wall. The entrance, in the SSE, opens into a sub-circular "porch" measuring 5.0m by 4.5m, to which there is no external entrance evident. Abutting on to the NE side of the "porch" is another small circular annexe measuring 3.0m in diameter, with no obvious entrance (see NO 15 NW 7).
The enclosures 'G' and 'H' are dissimilar. 'G' measures 7.0m in diameter within the centres of a strong rubble wall spread to 3.0m. It does not appear to be a hut circle. 'H' measures c. 16.0m E-W by 14.0m N-S and it is connected to hut 'E' by a curving ruinous wall.
The field-system is marked by stone clearance heaps, occasional lynchets, and ruinous walls, one of which pursues a sinuous course immediately in front of huts A - D.
