Field Visit (10 June 2010)
This township was not recorded in detail on the date of visit. However, noted within its southern part (in addition to the buildings HU24NE 202, 203 and 205), were a possible oval enclosure (HU 27695 49079), a shed or hut (HU 27721 49101), another at HU 27704 49022, and several lengths of ruined stone wall, some probably the remains of enclosures.
