A prehistoric pound of 0.601 acres, containing a hut circle. Now
integrated with the present field system (Plan). (2-3)
At SX 55377184, on a slight south-west slope there is a homestead,
formed by an enclosed hut circle of Type 2 (SX 56 SE 19). It has
internal diameters of 9.1m. by 8.2m. and a levelled interior. The
walling, 1.3m. wide, incorporates some 'in situ' boulders and inner
facing slabs, with small stones heaped against the outer face. It is
from 0.5m. to 1.1m. high with an entrance gap on the south-east.

The enclosure, Of 0.25 ha., has diameters of 58.0m. north-west to
south-east and 48.0m. northeast to south-west. For 50.0m. on the
south-west side the perimeter is represented by grass covered stony
scarp 0.5m. high; elsewhere it is a 2.0m. wide spread of stones of
similar height, upon which a strong modern field wall has been
constructed. (See plan)
