On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). House excavated (Excavation number E00455) in 1987-1991 (Doody 2007, 22-25, Structure 4). Though completely excavated only sections of the S and E survived as remainder was probably destroyed when then a later house (TS087-007----) was built over most of this house (ibid. 22). Circular house (diam. c. 5m) was defined by foundation trenches with associated stake- and post-holes, with a probably entrance on the E side (Wth c. 1m) (ibid.). Internal features include a shallow off-centre hearth with a cluster of stake-holes on its W edge and two post-holes on the S side which may represent a spit over the fire, there were also other internal post-holes, function unknown (ibid. 22-25). Three Bronze Age houses (TS087-007002-), (TS087-007001-) and (TS087-007004) are located c. 4m to N, c. 5m to NE and c. 3m to S respectively.
