Sites of six possible buildings or structures were recorded during the survey. From the possible building on the top of the south scarp at SX 5589 7553 a track leads down into the working area with a length of revetment walling at the foot of the scarp. There is an indistinct structure at SX 5595 7550 above the southern scarp and two possible structures within the streamwork at SX 5562 7558 and SX 5582 7557. The latter was suggested as a possible mill site. A possible building was recorded beside an earlier track at SX 5598 7551. A few isolated stretches of drystone revetment were recorded within the streamwork.
