Full Description
At NC 7307 5463, on rising W-facing ground is an ill-preserved hut circle in association with a field system. The hut measures about 10 by 8m within a reduced wall obscured by peat. The entrance is in SE arc on the longer axis. The field system extends over 2.5 hectares, and is demonstrated in some low heathery banks, one or two poorly-defined lynchets and in stone clearance heaps., the last most numerous in the western half where they are spaced on average 10m apart. A cultivation plot 25 by 10m was noted. Several mounds outlying to the SE indicate further areas of cultivation.
Surveyed at 1:10,000. Visited by OS (J M) 12 July 1977.
