Full description

Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset., MPP 140682 (Report - Survey). SDV277946.

Site visited on 1st April 1995. Simple enclosure forming part of a partially enclosed stone hut circle settlement. Survives as a 70 metres by 1 metre by 0.3 metre high curving rubble wall with occasional facing slabs. This structure probably represents two sides of an enclosure whose other sides have been robbed for building material to construct the nearby Trowlesworthy Farmstead. The enclosure is cut in at least two places by a later animal run and leat.
