(Undated) information in NMRS.
The cropmarks of a hut within an enclosure have been recorded by aerial survey (RCAHMSAP 1994). Situated approximately 200m NW of Auburn Cottage and S of the A1 trunk road, the cropmarks consist of a penannular ditch with an entrance way to the SE and centrally within the enclosure is a possible building. Traces of rig also occur in the same area.

This penannular ring-ditch has been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1976, 1977, 1981, 1994, 1995, 2000). There are several pits in the interior.
