(Location cited as NJ 692 084). Air photography (AAS/81/13/S15/29-32, flown 11 December 1981) has recorded what may have been hut-circles on a ridge in an area of rough grazing at an altitude of 185m OD. A field visit revealed no surface or sub-surface remains (the ground being ploughed at a spacing of 1m) and Mr Fyffe, the farmer, confirmed that feed-bins have been located there.

There are no traces of any hut-circles in this area of rough pasture, which has been heavily disturbed by the trampling of cattle. A quarry (NJ 6934 0837) on a S-facing slope measures about 10m in diameter and 1.3m in depth.
