Field Visit (4 July 1996)

NN02SW 85 0248 2203

Situated on a bracken-covered terrace on the S slopes of a knoll, there is a subrectangular building adjacent to a patch of rig. The building measures 5m from E to W by 3.6m transversely within a stony bank 1m in thickness and 0.35m in height.

The rig is about 2.5m wide and, below the building, there are other lynchet-like rigs set parallel to the contour of the hill.
