(Location cited as NJ 5977 0302 and classified as Site of Regional Significance). This hut-circle and field-system survives incomplete at an altitude of 214m OD. The hut-circle (NJ 5976 0300) measures 8m in diameter and may be a sheep stell, given its upstanding drystone wall and the absence of levelling within the interior. The knoll to the S of the track had been bulldozed by 1987 so that the clearance-heaps survive only in the NE corner, but the system survives undamaged to the N of the track. The clearance-heaps are relatively large.
