Activities

Field Visit (28 March 2022)

NM71SW 5 74931 13750 and 74918 13674

The footings of two small rectangular stone-walled huts are situated on the high ground to the W of South Cuan. The first lies about 65m SW of an unnamed top (64m OD) and measures about 6m from NE to SW by 4m overall; the second lies a further 73m to the SSW and measures 7m from E to W by 3.5m overall. Too small for permanent occupation, the huts were presumably associated with grazing and do not seem to be related to the plots of plough rig nearby.

Visited by HES Archaeological Survey (GF Geddes and D Bratt) 28 March 2022.
