The Hows

Building; Enclosure

NT 77593 16371

On the NW shoulder of The Hows there are the reduced remains of two buildings and an enclosure. The better preserved of the two buildings (NT 77598 16374) measures 22m from WNW to ESE by 4.3m transversely within turf and stone walls 0.5m in height and 1.8m thick. The interior slopes downhill to the W and possibly contains a drain; there is also an exterior drain along the N wall. There are entrances on the N and S walls. Extending from the S wall is a small D-shaped yard measuring 17m from WNW to ESE by 10m transversely. This building overlies the S end of an earlier turf building (NT 77590 16386) which measures 6.9m from N to S by 2.9m transversely, within walls up to 0.4m in height and 1.2m thick.
