Centred NS 9673 2102. The seven platforms are as described, with front and rear scarps ranging from 1.0 to 3.0m in height. An eighth platform, of similar dimensions, was located approximately 70.0m NE of this group at NS 9681 2103. No field plots or terracing were found in the vicinity.

Field Visit (1992)
Ward describes and plans another three platforms to the N of the eight previously described.
To the SE of the platforms are five cairns measuring 3m to 6m in diameter and 0.2m to 0.4m high. Two short lengths of a break in slope suggest lynchets, one cairn is lying on the upper bank at the point where it is angled.
The area of ground to the N and NW has been used for turf stripping and a circular feature measuring 30m in diameter [NS 9664 2118] has been caused by this activity which is of recent date.
T Ward 1992.
