What is recorded here
Situated on the S side of a rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to E, SE and S. In W quadrant of ringfort (WM025-125----) are three conjoined rectangular-shaped house sites (overall long-axis N-S) each defined by low, narrow earth and stone banks. The northern house site is narrower than the two others which are of equal width. The banks have many gaps, although no definite entrances are recognisable and there is no clear evidence of internal doorways. Fragments of a low, narrow earthen bank extend from the perimeter at ENE toward the NE corner of the conjoined house sites and may represent the remains of an internal partition.
