Centred: NC 862 070. On a shelf on a W facing slope is a settlement of three stone-walled huts ('A'-'C') and an associated field system. The hut walls are obscured by peat growth and only the occasional outer facing stone is visible.

The field system is small but well-preserved, comprising cultivation plots demarcated by stone clearance heaps and lynchets.
