Prehistoric settlement of five circular stone walled huts and a contemporary field system recorded during field survey by the OS in 1971. Four of the huts occur in a group on an uncultivated shelf, and are ill-defined by incomplete boulder walls with no facing stones evident. Two of these show evidence of being levelled into the slope, and both measure about 11.5m between wall centres, while the remaining two measure 9.0m in diameter. No entrances are evident. In the vicinity of the huts are four later sub-rectangular foundations varying between 6.0m x 3.0m and 9.0m x 4.0m, one of which is built inside a hut. The fifth hut is ill-defined by a rubble wall spread to about 1.5m and measuring about 8.5m in diameter between its centres. The entrance is not evident. About 40.0m to the west is a vague circular area bounded by traces of possible walling, which may represent another hut. The field system is marked by stone clearance heaps and an occasional lynchet and ruinous wall, and is greatly obscured by peat. No measurable cultivation plots were seen.
