Settlement and field system, and corn kiln set into bluff, 3m diameter, surviving to 10 courses with a rectangular store attached. The lowest terrace immediately above the floodplain is all cleared, with walls and clearance materials set either at the riverbank or at the back margin of the cleared area adjoining the deflected stream bed at the base of the terrace bluff. Several foundations of buildings, some of rudimentary structures, have subsequently been used for accumulating stone clearance. A lime kiln, 4m in diameter, six courses high, has been set into bluff at the side of a track. The remains of a farmhouse, 28m by 6m, square-ended, has additional stores added to the south on the same alignment, but leaving older foundations exposed to each side, and with no mortar. An enclosure, 22m by 36m, has edge accumulations of stone clearance materials. The whole complex, especially the farmhouse and environs, apparently rest on older materials. On the bluff top above there are bow-ended building remains plus a semi-circular bow end, which does not appear to be a kiln. Also visible is an oval sheal, 5m by 3m. On the floodplain is an incomplete rectangular enclosure. Festoons of stone clearance material lie over bank onto floodplain. The head dyke diagonally slants up the bluff, crosses the stream, then becomes of turf, and then on to the uncleared, very stony area on the main 'cultivated terrace'.
