Full Description
NG23NW 5 2030 3963
On the west bank of the Dibidal River at a height of 50m OD is a ruined rectangular structure. Not visited, seen from a distance.
Information from R Miket, 3 April 1989. <1>
This is clearly a two-compartment longhouse. Vertical aerial photographs also show the earthwork remains of a smaller sub-rectangular building immediately to the northeast and the possible remains of a small enclosure around the latter. Cleary the remains of a small farmstead. <2>
