On one step of a low-lying karst landscape that steps down gently to the N. Grass-covered area of about 2 acres (c. 1 ha) within field system (RO028-161002-) contains the foundations of seven house-sites around two small fields (dims c. 20m x c. 20-30m). The houses are visible as rectangular areas defined by grass-covered stone spreads (Wth 1.2m; H 0.1-0.3m), rarely with visible facing stones. One large house (int. dims 14.4m E-W; 5.1m N-S) is c. 100m E of the main cluster and has one doorway (Wth 1.8m) towards the W end of the N wall. There are two two-room structures (int. dims 9.8-11.8m E-W; 2.8-3m N-S), and four rectangular one-room structures (int. dims 5-7m x 3-3.7m), sometimes with visible doorways (Wth 1-1.8m) that are integrated with the walls of the field system. In addition there is a small square structure (int. dims 3.1m E-W; 3m N-S) with a small yard (int. dims 6.5m E-W; 4m N-S) attached to the E. The yard is integrated with the field walls, and has an outhouse (int. dims 3m E-W; 1.1m N-S) with a doorway at W integrated into its perimeter at N beside the entrance to the yard.
