House

In pasture, located on low ridge. There is a gradual fall of ground to S towards a stream. Not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; shown as a small circular hachured feature on the 1922 edition. This possible house or hut site consists of a slightly raised subcircular area (5.5m E−W; 4.6m N−S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m), faced internally, and in parts externally on the W arc, by rounded stones and boulders. The interior is level, and appears almost square rather than circular in plan. There is a low eroded area (Wth 1.2m) in the enclosing bank at NNW. It is engulfed in blackthorn and brambles. There is a N−S field fence immediately to W. There is rath (MA040-036----) 260m to NE.
