Archaeology Notes

NC75SW 25 7307 5463.

At NC 7307 5463, on rising W-facing ground is an ill-preserved hut circle in association with a field system. The hut measures about 10.0 by 8.0m within a reduced wall obscured by peat. The entrance is in the south-east arc on the longer axis. The field system extends over 2.5 hectares, and is demonstrated in some low heathery banks, one or two poorly-defined lynchets and in stone clearance heaps., the last most numerous in the western half where they are spaced on average 10.0m apart. A cultivation plot 25.0 by 10.0m was noted. Several mounds outlying to the SE indicate further areas of cultivation.

Surveyed at 1:10,000.

Visited by OS (J M) 12 July 1977.
