NT 0970 2491. This level terrace, situated on a steep slope, measures approximately 12.0 m long by 5.0 m wide. It is poorly defined and cannot be positively identified as an occupation site; it may, however, be a natural feature, the result of subsidence which is evident else- where on the disturbed, tree-covered hill slope.
There is no trace of other similar features in its vicinity.
Visited by OS (MJF), 30 January 1979.
