On a W-facing slope. An area of abut 25 acres (c. 10 ha) contains a complex of old field walls and enclosures visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: K17, W17). The area is now reduced to about 2.5 ha (c. 6 acres) of rough pasture but the cleared area contained at least two drystone-walled enclosures (RO050-041004-; RO050-041005-) (diam. c. 20m; c. 10m). In the surviving area there is a small D-shaped enclosure (RO050-041001-) (int. dims. 8m NW-SE; 5-8m NE-SW) with the foundations of a hut-site (RO050-041003-) (ext. diam. 4.8m) 14m to the NE. The fields are small and irregular in shape (dims c. 30m x c. 30m) defined by collapsed walls associated with lazy-bed cultivation.
