(15/01/2002) Centred SX 5824 6582.
The remains of a rectangular structure (SX 56 NE 156) with an annex probably occupy the site of an earlier hut circle within the northern enclosure. Centred at SX 5823 6584 this feature measures 7.0m east-west by 3.0m internally with a possible entrance in the centre of the southern side. Its walls are 1.0m wide and stand 0.5m high and the interior of this structure lies 0.3m below the outside ground level. The annex, immediately to the north measures 3.9m by 3.5m and may also lie on the site of a former hut circle. There is no evidence to suggest an origin or function for these latter structures though it seems likely that they relate to post-Medieval activities in this area.
