Full Description
Cropmarks of an unenclosed settlement and enclosure, recorded over several years during aerial reconnaissance by the RCAHMS. A possible circular timber house, old field divisions and a rectangular enclosure are visible on aerial photographs. There is also a rectilinear enclosure some 50m across at circa NO5494 3492 recorded in 1996. The unenclosed settlement comprises at least five roundhouses ranging in diameter from at least 6m to at least 10m. The enclosure lies to the south and is defined by a ditch about 1m wide surrounding an area measuring about 45m by 45m. One of the ring ditch houses lies within the northern enclosure.
