('A': NC 5666 0300, 'B': NC 5669 0301) Enclosures (NR)
OS 1:10,000 map, (1970)

Two circular enclosures, one of which, 'B' is probably a hut circle; accompanied by field clearance.
'A' is 16.5m in diameter and consists of a turfed-over stone bank up to 3m wide and 0.5m high. The entrance, 5m wide is in the SE.
'B' is 12m in diameter and appears to be scooped. The bank varies from 2.5m to 4m in width, with a maximum height of 1m. The entrance, 1.2m wide is in the SE.
Visited by OS (R D L) 6 July 1963.

These are two stone-walled hut circles (A and B) set in a conifer-covered NE-facing hillside. Associated cultivation is shown by several field clearance mounds in a firebreak nearby. The huts are reduced and have been planted with trees.
'A' is about 15.0m NW-SE by 13.0m internally; the wall is an amorphous spread of some 2.5m in the W half, becoming less definite for the remainder. The entrance can no longer be positively identified.
'B' set into the slope, is about 8.5m internal diameter; the wall remains as a 2-2.5m spread, and 0.4m maximum height. The entrance is in the SE.
Revised at 1:2500.
