J Stevenson 1973.
At least a dozen early stone clearance heaps in moorland within an area up to 150 metres SW of a group of BA cairns (NN86SW 7). Other larger heaps further to the SW in an area of modern cultivation are comparatively recent.

A scatter of small cairns, stretches of field bank and traces of rig cultivation survive in rough grassland to the S of cairns NN86SW 7. The rigs measure up to about 7m in breadth.
