Two buildings, situated in the NW corner of an area of rough ground and immediately E of the road, were noted by J Wordsworth. The buildings measure 24m by 5m and 11m by 4m respectively. Vague stone footings are visible and it is unclear if they were stone-walled or turf-walled above these footings. Other features may be obscured by grassland.
