The grass-grown, turf footings of four subrectangular buildings, probably shieling-huts, are situated at the ENE end of an intake of the field-system (NS89NW 63.02) around Jerah (NS89NW 63.01). Three of the buildings (MENS97 118, 120, 121) were clearly enough defined to be measured internally; two are similar in size at 6.3m by 3m (MENS97 120) and 6.2m by 2.6m (MENS97 121). The third building (MENS97 118) is larger at 11m by 3.7m, and is divided into two compartments. The fourth building (MENS97 119) lies in a gateway through the modern fence. It has been reduced to a low subrectangular mound, measuring 10.4m in length by 6.1m in breadth over a low bank.
