What is recorded here
Situated on the E-end of a small, low natural ridge running E-W in pasture with extensive views in all directions. The remains of a hut site (approx. dims. 5.3m N-S; 9.7m E-W) are located on the inner edge of the scarp, within the S quadrant of a ringfort (WM017-052----). The hut site is visible as a rectangular-shaped depression defined by a low bank of earth with abundant stone to S, some of which may represent the remains of internal stone facing. Two stones set in the ground at W may be the remains of the W bank. A very low and faint scarp defines the E side of the monument, however, there is little definition to N.
