Description
A compact upland farmstead with some well preserved features including the foundations of a once substantial stone walled building or long hut (NPRN 521268) set within a large banked enclosure (NPRN 521285). Also within the enclosure is an earth platform which probably supported a timber or clom building with smaller associated pens likely to have been used for herding animals and an unusual sunken 'shelter' (NPRN 521285) or hollow 8m x 4m in size.
