Full Description
NC63SE 11 6610 3115.
At NC 6610 3115, on a low ridge falling away to the north, is an ill-preserved hut circle in association with a small field system. The hut is set slightly into the slope and is 10.0 by 8.5m inside a peat-silted wall standing 0.3m high and spread 2.0 - 2.5m broad; the entrance is in the south and on the line of the longer axis. The field system survives to about one hectare in area, its further extent, in the south, being overlaid by narrow-rig cultivation and by shielings (NC63SE 10); it is denoted in heaps and rickles of stone clearance, the first much the predominant and spaced on average 10.0m - 15.0m apart, but there are no measurable cultivation plots.
Surveyed at 1:10 000.
Visited by OS (J M) 22 April 1977.
