Field Visit (17 March 1997 - 17 March 1997)
The most obvious feature in this area is marked on the 1971 OS 1:10,000 map of the area. It is a round ended building c7m long and c3m wide over walls c 0.6m high and c0.6m wide, aligned NNW/SSE with a central entrance on the W side.
Down slope c15m to the W are two other buildings which only survive as turf-covered slight walls c0.2m high and c1 boulder thick (0.4m wide). The larger is sub-rectangular aligned NW/SE and measures c3m wide and 7m long over its walls with an entrance centrally in its SW wall and a very large boulder at its NW end. The smaller is a further 7m to the W and is a 3m square over its walls.
Up-slope, to the SE and E c30m distant, are three small circular drystone structures, measuring c1.5m diameter over walls c0.4m thick and c0.3m high.
