A substantial round-ended stone and turf building measuring 15m x 5m was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by Wordsworth Archaeological Services in November 2000 (site 2). The building is aligned approximately N - S and there is an entrance in the centre of the E wall. The walls are 0.5m-0.6m high and 0.7m-0.8m thick. There is a platform to the SE, measuring 6m in diameter, with a drystone store of 1m diameter, on its edge. Some 60m to the NE is a triangular turf walled enclosure measuring 11m (N-S) x 10m (E-W). Aerial photographs show a second enclosure some 50m W of the building. The site lieson a gentle slope in a bracken-infested clearing on the W bank of a small, un-named stream.
