Field Visit (26 February 1992)
NT60NE 30 6705 0891.
On the E-facing hillside opposite Chapel Knowe there is a farmstead comprising three buildings within a subrectangular enclosure. The enclosure has a wide gap in its N side and two smaller gaps in the S.
It measures 31m from E to W by 23m transversely within stony banks up to 0.5m in height. The main building, which occupies a terrace on the E side of the enclosure, has been robbed, but measures some 9.7m from NW to SE by 5.7m transversely. The other buildings occupy sloping ground on the N and S sides of the enclosure, that to the N is terraced and built against the enclosure wall on the W; it measures 5.5m from E to W by 2.5m transversely within stony banks spread to 1m in thickness and 0.4m in height, but that to the S is too badly disturbed at its E end to be measured.
(ROX92 55-57).
