A stone-walled hut circle in association with the field system, was found at NC 5982 0457. The field system, occupying four hectares, comprises scattered stone clearance heaps and occasional ill-defined lynchets fringing cleared ground, but no measurable plots are discernible.
The hut, severely reduced and peat-covered is about 11.0m N-S by 10.0m internally; the wall has a spread of 1.5m that increases to 2.0m at the entrance, slightly clubbed in the C.
Surveyed at 1:2500 and 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J M) 4 August 1976.
