When visited in 1971, this was noted as a field system, centred on NT 0460 4904, with no apparent huts, consisting of clearance cairns, dimensions as given by the RCAHMS 1978, and short stretches of lynchets about 0.2m high.

NT 046 490. On the S side of the Salla Burn, more than twenty cairns, the largest of which measures 4.5m in diameter and 1.0m in height, are scattered both within and immediately N of a turf-walled enclosure of no great age (cf NT05SE 3).

Field Visit (19 February 1979)
NT04NW 22 centred 0460 4904
A group of small probable stone clearance cairns occupy about 4.0 hectares of a gently sloping south-west facing hillside. None of these can be identified as burial cairns and, at the time of field investigation, no lynchets were seen in thick heather cover.
