Full Description
Remains of three hut-circles, part of a more extensive field system/settlement (NJ40SW0007). The central one has an entrance to the southeast. A recess in the wall 0.86m by 0.96m by 0.25m high, may be contemporary, though Abercromby thought it to be a relatively modern temporary shelter. Nothing was found within the hut circle but on the south side outside a little charcoal and burnt earth was found and on the northeast side a flint arrowhead. The other two were recorded as scant footings, 10 m in diameter.
