(Undated) information in NMRS.

Air photographs show a series of cropmarks, including those of an enclosure, 350m SW of Barbachlaw farmsteading. The enclosure, possibly a settlement, is roughly circular, measuring about 30m in diameter within a ditch up to 3m broad, with a possible entrance on the NE side. There are a number of small indeterminate cropmarks visible internally and externally. This settlement was previously classified as an enclosure. Immediately to the S is a further area of cropmarks, which include coal pits (NT37SE 62).

Information from RCAHMS (KB) 2 March 1999.
