Hut circles with many stone clearance heaps and banks. Field survey in 1979 recorded four hut circles within an extensive group of cairns and field-banks on the crest of the hill known as the Ord. The hut-circles are (a) NO 7465 9095 measuring 9m east to west by 8m north-south within a stony bank up to 2.3m thick and 0.4m high, and an entrance on the west. (b) NO 7480 9098: measuring 8m from north to south by 7.5m within a stony bank 2m thick and 0.3m high. (c) NO 7483 9095: measuring 9.5m in diameter within a stony bank up to 2.5m thick and 0.6m high, but the hut-circle has been ploughed for forestry and the position of entrance is unclear. (d) NO 7489 9100: measuring 9m from east to west by 8m transversely within a stony bank up 2.2m thick and 0.5m high, but the hut circle has been ploughed for forestry. At least 580 cairns are scattered over an area of 19ha around the hut-circles. They vary between 2m and 6m in diameter and are up to 0.8m in height. Amongst them there are several massive field-banks up to 3m thick, the majority of which occur running along the crest of the hill crosses the site from east-northeast to west-southwest. The area to the south of the fence has been ploughed for forestry.
