What is recorded here
Situated on a slight natural rise, in gently undulating pasture with restricted views. About 25m to ENE of ringfort (WM019-079----) is a long rectangular, two-roomed house site defined by a slight earthen bank with no surface remains visible of any doorway. A small complex of earthworks are in the immediate vicinity of the house. The banks and scarps radiate from the corners of house site at E, S and W. They are probably the remains of enclosures associated with the house. Low mounds are visible to SW and NW of the house. Degraded earthworks are barely visible today on Google Earth aerial imagery.
