Field Visit (5 February 2011 - 30 September 2012)
Settlement, hut circles and field system. The NMRS and HER record that a complex of rectangular and rectilinear structures, enclosures of various shapes and sizes and shielings are present on a north-facing hillside (Mercer 1980). In the same area is: a cairnfield, covering an area 90m by 60m, consisting of two groups of peat-covered clearance cairns approximately1 m high; a hut circle 8.4m in diameter; and a field system of some 16 hectares. A visit in 1989 (RCAHMS) found that none of the previously reported structures was plainly visible, the area having been ploughed and planted with trees. The site is a scheduled monument (5300).
