Description
A field-system and settlement that is overlain by a modern west/east enclosure wall. It measures at least 192m square in area. In the area to the north of the wall lies the corner of the field-system and a smaller sub-rectangular stock enclosure that measure 32m long and 25m wide. The drystone walls/banks comprise consist of medium sized unworked stones that have been built into irregular courses and measure 1.5m wide and 0.40m high. In the area to the south of the wall lies 2/3 of the field system consisting of separate north-west/south-east orientated sub-rectangular fields. The drystone walls/banks comprise of medium to large unworked stones that have been built into irregular courses and measure 1.20m wide and 0.30m high. There is a putative funerary cairn (NPRN 287275) and a series of three rectangular house platforms (NPRN 287274) that lie within this one of the field plots. The field-system is more extensive than it is depicted on the RCAHMW Aerial Photographic Interpretation, however, due to the low walls and long grass the full extent of the site is difficult to ascertain.
