Close to a peat-covered cliff-edge on Valencia Island, a field wall, running roughly N-S, divides a cluster of six houses and a possible souterrain; the houses on the W side appear to predate the two at E. The rectangular foundations of a nineteenth-century house occur on the N side of the group and appear to be associated with the present field system, which overlies an earlier one.
(5) KE078-019005-; E of the field boundary, the stone and earth foundations of a rectangular hut. D: 4.5 x 4.1. H: .5m. T: 1.5m.
