Visited on 16th November 1994. Field 'b' at SX55787618 measures up to 70 metres by 62 metres, contains one hut circle and another is linked to the northern wall. The field is partially subdivided by a 2 metres wide and 1 metre high lynchet which leads east from the hut lying within the field. A boundary bank which butts the northern side of the field and leads to another hut may represent an unfinished boundary wall. This boundary wall is latter in date than Field 'b'. Field 'b' is more recent than Field 'a', but is probably earlier than Field 'd'.
