Full description
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1977, SX67SE99 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV140953.
(07/07/1977) There is no trace of the enclosure and hut circles at the position indicated by Lady A Fox (see authority 1). A levelled platform diameter 7 metres with traces of a bank on the lower side is evidently the remains of a hut circle and lies nearby at SX 6850 7057 on a moderate, well drained north-west facing slope 305m above OD. It is within the parallel reave system, (SX 67 SE 92).
Surveyed at 1:10 000 scale on PFD.

The second hut consists of a slight levelled platform 4.3 metres in diameter enclosed by a crude ring of stones. Neither hut possesses an identifiable entrance.
