Archaeology Notes

NM87NE 4 853 753

Thirty-five recessed platforms, which range from 18ft (5.5m) to 41ft (12.5m); some are stone built - the others are difficult to recognise as they are not. 29 of them - stone built and otherwise - are concentrated into an area of about 35 acres; that is more densely packed than has been found anywhere else. As many of these were poorly constructed and smaller -viz 21ft and 18ft (6.4m and 5.5m) - it is possible that the stone built recessed platforms have been augmented by quickly built charcoal hearth platforms. (The three platforms at NM 855 755, listed by Kirby, presumably form part of this group.)
