Full Description
Depopulated settlement and shielings. Above the footbridge is a circular beehive shiel, 7m diam, adjacent to which are small rectangular foundations, 8m by 5m. Both are built of very large boulders. There is a longhouse with rounded corners and a rectangular structure with a circular cell at the northwest end. Across the footbridge is a rectangular longhouse, 8m by 4m, sitting on a green knoll, also a series of square 'cleats' set amongst other poorly defined structures and enclosures. A massively built boulder enclosure with rectangular annexes and other ill-defined structures within the enclosure, are almost certainly older. There is also a rectangular longhouse, 8m by 4m, together with a number of circular and square foundations.
