Description
A settlement comprising three buildings, set within and forming part of an enclosure, is located on a low shelf of dry ground projecting from, and protected by, an outcrop scarp on the east, and just 2m or so above boggy ground on the west, close to a stream. Overall the arrangement measures 28m (E-W) by 20m and forms a sub-triangular plan. At the apex is a hut circle, adjacent is a rectangular structure and a second circular hut overlies the enclosure on the south-east corner. The site is overgrown with bracken.
