What is recorded here

On level ground with rock outcrop at the bottom of N and E-facing slopes. An area of about 12 acres (c. 5 ha) contains field banks creating small plots (dims c. 30m x c. 20m), with quarries in unenclosed areas and a settlement cluster (RO028-241001-). Two house sites (RO028-241002-; RO028-241003-) are within a narrow field (dims c. 100m NE-SE; c. 15-20m NW-SE) extending to the SE, where a third house site (RO028-241004-) at its E end has a possible sweat-house visible as a mound (diam. 5m) with a hollow (diam. 2.6m) in the N wall.
