What is recorded here
Located within the interior of rectangular enclosure (CL005-231----), which is very overgrown with hazel scrub and briars. A small rectangular area, which is defined by the remains of a low drystone wall (H 0.3-0.7m; Wth 0.45m), encloses the S angle of the large enclosure. Two hut sites are located within. This record is for the southern hut site (diam. 2.5m) defined by a drystone wall (H 0.5-0.9m; T 1m), with no obvious entrance. The interior is level and compact. A rectangular lamb-fold (int. dims. 1.3m NE-SW; 1m NW-SE; H 0.3-0.4m) abuts to NW. It is defined by a drystone wall (T 0.5m) and is open to NE. A second hut site (CL005-233----) is adjacent.
