Description
NAR SS88NW5

The earthworks of a building platform terraced into south-east facing slopes. The platform is 8.0m north-west to south-east by 6.0m.
There are other similar building platforms to the south-west (NPRN 15351, 15350) and north-east (NPRN 15349).
House platforms such as these are characteristic of upland settlement in the region from at least the thirteenth century. They were probably associated with small scale cultivation and seasonal grazing.
