In pasture, on a SE-facing slope in an area of rolling farmland. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 5m) defined by a traces of wall (T 1m; H 0.6m) which consists of an inner and outer row of contiguous stone slabs (T 1m; H 0.6m) with an infill of smaller stones. Field-clearance rubble is piled intermittently on the wall and along the S arc. A burial ground (CO122-101001-) is c. 55m to the NNW.
