What is recorded here
Situated on a slight natural rise, in relatively low-lying, wet pasture. Hut site (WM017-113----) c. 155m to W. Depicted on 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped enclosure. Monument visible today as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Described in 1975 as a large irregular-shaped area (approx. dims. 75m E-W; 46m N-S) enclosed by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank with traces of an external fosse. The bank is much disturbed by modern gaps and the original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a number of large stones and has been disturbed by relatively modern cultivation.
