Visited on 16th November 1994. Field 'a' at SX55727616 measures up to 100 metres by 74 metres, contains 3 hut circles, whilst a further hut is linked to the western wall. The northern length of field walling has a large number of large earthfast boulders incorporated into its circuit, whilst the remainder includes stones and earth forming a 1.5 metres wide and 0.4 metres high wall. Field 'b' is attached to its east side, thus confirming that Field 'a' was constructed before Field 'b'. The relationship with Field 'd' is less clear, but it also appears to postdate Field 'a'.
