Details Remains of settlement and field system, consisting of six circular stone-walled huts (A-F) and a contemporary field system marked by stone clearance heaps, a few lynchets and two cairns (G-H). Most are mutilated by afforestation and no entrances are evident. Cairn G, 13.5 m diameter by circa 1 m high, is on a knoll. About 10 m east are traces of a possible hut circle circa 8.5 m diameter, now virtually destroyed by rig and furrow. Cairn H, 10.5 m diameter by 0.6 m high, has traces of a kerb of small stones, mainly in the north and east. Although having suffered from afforestation, rig and furrow and rough grazing, a few field plots can be identified 20 m by 25 m. Best preserved areas are around the two cairns.
