Field Visit (21 September 1997 - 21 September 1997)
Two stone edged platforms c5m by c5m and c9m by c7m, lie obscured in heather and coarse grasses.
To the NE at the bottom of a rocky outcrop is an area of herb-rich grassland. At the edge of this are the remains of a tumbled drystone feature aligned NE/SW measuring c3m by c2.5m with walls up to 0.8m high and spread to c1.1m wide. A c1m diameter setting of large stones c0.6m wide and c0.3m high and a grassy platform c5m in diameter lying to the NW may also be features.
There are no obvious peat cuttings in the vicinity; perhaps this is a shieling area.
