Full Description
NG88SW 2 8040 8075 to 8137 8125.
At NG 8040 8075 is a sub-circular enclosure consisting of a stony bank 0.6m maximum height, 1.2m average width. Within the enclosure are the foundations of three rectangular buildings, each measuring 5m by 3m, 4 other foundation of similar buildings lie outside enclosure along the 500' contour to NE. To NE, at NG 8137 8125, is a second enclosure containing the foundations of three similar buildings. Although foundations indicate fairly substantial constructions of dry-stone, size of the buildings and the position of the enclosures suggests that these were sheilings rather than farmsteads.
