Lying on a south-facing slope at a height of 80m OD are the remains of two substantial long houses. One, a four compartment structure measuring 16m by 3.8m overall with an enclosure attached to its east end which measures 11.7m by 3.8m overall. The second structure is a two-compartment house which measures 12m by 6.2m overall, with a sub-rectangular enclosure at the north end 5.2m by 2.4m internally, and a half circular enclosure 4.1m in diameter attached to the south end. A large area of enclosed rig cultivation with a possible stack stand in its north-west corner lie to the south.
