Full Description
A field system containing at least three hut circles and an enclosure extends over 10 ha. The largest hut circle lies within a stony bank with its interior levelled into the slope on the east with an entrance on the west-southwest. The other two huts, 8.5 m x 7.5 m, have entrances on the south-southeast and south-southwest. The enclosure sits on a slight knoll south-east of the largest hut circle. It is 6 m in diameter and has entrance in the west. Numerous stony banks and irregular heaps of cleared stones lie in the area of the hut circles. On the heather moorland to the east there are at least 30 small cairns and traces of others can be identified on the improved land to the south.
