Description
NAR SH37NW4

A later Prehistoric type roundhouse enclosed settlement.
Two 9.0m diameter roundhouses with stone founded walls about 1.0m wide are set on the west side of a rectangular stone-walled enclosure about 20m by 30m. There are remains of three similarly sized detached or satellite roundhouses from 25-45m distant on the north-west and west.
This appears to have been one of a cluster of such settlements (see NPRN 302306). Finds recorded during clearance in the nineteenth century appear to have included Roman material, bronze tweezers, coins and as many as three copper cakes.
