What is recorded here
Marked as a D-shaped field (dims c. 90m NE-SW; c. 75m NW-SE) with the straight side at the SE on the 1837 and 1929 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of an E-facing slope. An arc (C 72m NE-SW) of a grass-covered stony bank (at N: Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.3m) SW-W-NE surmounted by a drystone wall surrounds a farmyard, but while there is a local tradition of its use as a childrens' burial ground (RO021-043002-) there is no evidence of burial.
