Now under Forestry Commission plantation; not visited.

A poorly-preserved homestead similarly sited to others along the same ridge (NR79SE 3 and NR79SE 4 ) but larger. It measures about 17.0m in diameter over a double-faced wall 2.1m-2.5m wide. The wall is best preserved on the W and consists of vertical slabs with a rubble core. On the N, afforestation makes identification difficult and the wall is fragmentary. No definite entrance is visible, and the interior is featureless.

Surveyed at 1:10 000.

Visited by OS (DWR) 22 May 1973.

This homestead has been almost entirely destroyed by afforestation and although several random boulders are visible, there is now no identifiable structure.
