What is recorded here
Half a mile above Barley Lake, two shallow hut basins and a small stone enclosure sit on a narrow terrace squeezed between a rocky ridge and a sheer cliff. The gully to the summit still cuts past them, suggesting people once climbed through that same gap to watch weather roll off the water or tend animals on the rough grazing above.
Group of two hut sites (CO104-053----, CO104-053001-) and a small enclosure (CO104-053002-) situated on a level terrace about half way up a steep, rocky ridge overlooking Barley Lake to the north, in an area of rough grazing. This terrace has a rock face behind and is accessed by a gully which continues on to the summit of the ridge.
