On the slopes at the foot of Langhaugh Hill and extending to a plantation due S of Langhaigh farmhouse, there is an extensive field-system consisting of a number of linear field-boundaries, which are connected on the uphill side by the old head-dyke, and at least thirteen clearance cairns. On the E side of the track cutting the plantation, there are traces of two scooped hut-stances (NT 2006 3070); the head-dyke deviates upslope and around to take in the hut-stances. At the edge of the trees there are the remains of a posssible hut-circle (NT 2004 2068).
