Archaeology Notes

NC45NE 13 c. 467 589

NC 4684 5894 - NC 4678 5890. A very close group of eight hut circles. At the break of slope to the E is a dyke which may be the bounding wall of the settlement.

Information contained in letter and field notes from K Reid, 25 September 1978.

There is no trace of hut circles or any features resembling hut circles in this area. The dyke noted by Reid is an early modern head-dyke defining the western limits of a former field system.

Visited by OS (N K B), 2 May 1980.
