Description
Three much ruined platform house sites of a thirteenth- to fourteenth-century date. The first has been reduced to slight grassy banks, approx. 6.4m. by 3.4m on a platform approx. 8m by 5.5m at the south end of an enclosure approx. 23m by 16.5m. The second is at the north end of a similar enclosure, approx. 36.5m by 18m, on a platform approx. 5.8m wide. It has a well-preserved hood about 1.2m high, but the west end of the house and platform have been destroyed by a modern leat. The third house measures approx. 14m by 7.3m.
