Full Description
Depopulated settlement which lies within an area of small clearance cairns. An irregular shaped enclosure is bounded by a sinuous bank within which lies a subdued rectangular enclosure containing the remains of longhouses and bow ended houses. Both within and without the enclosure are areas of rig and furrow. Also outwith the large enclosure is a group of bow-ended houses and at least two possible hut-circles.
