Site visited on 4th April 1995 at SX57156455. Simple enclosure forming part of a partially enclosed hut settlement. Survives as a 25 metre by 20 metre trapezoidal area surrounded by a 3.8 metre wide and 0.5 metre high partly faced rubble wall. A rectangular building is attached to the west circuit of the enclosure. A length of boundary wall leads west from the south-west corner of the enclosure. A second boundary wall leading south-east from the enclosure is probably of historic date.
