Archaeology Notes

NC61SW 2 centred 620 147.

Centred on NC 620 147 is an area of 18/19th century depopulation (a). The turf-covered stone footings of at least eight buildings remain ranging from 5.0m by 3.0m to 14.0m by 3.0m, accompanied by the ruins of several individual enclosures.

There are some traces of walls but overall no real signs of a comprhensive field system. A later sheepfold is on the site.

Surveyed at 1:10 000.

Visited by OS (J M) 9 September 1980.
