| Details |
Settlement of stone-walled houses, stock enclosures and droveways. The site was systematically recorded by Sir Alexander Ogston (sometime physician to Queen Victoria) in 1931. The contiguous structures A, B and E on Ogston's plan have been interpreted as houses. Hut A is massively walled and sunken floored, measuring 19m in diameter. Hut B appears to consist of a hut circle enclosed by a stone wall, measuring 18m in diameter. Hut E measures 17m in diameter with a souterrain opening off of it. There is a hollow way on W side. Two enclosures (R and D on Ogston's plan) lie to the N and S of the huts. Enclosure D is contiguous with Hut A, and measures 19.5m in diameter. It has a clearly defined entrance to the E. Enclosure R is not attached to a house, but one massive main wall of the surrounding field system runs N from its NW corner. It is more irregular in plan, measuring 26m E-W and 24m N-S. The double walls (M on Ogston's plan) have been interpreted as a droveway. The surrounding birch woods contain many stone banks and walls of a sizeable system of large enclosures as well as traces of cord-rig cultivation.
