Located on a shelf towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. Just S of the castle (ME014-027----) a subrectangular area (dims c. 90m ENE-WSW; c. 70m NNW-SSE) contains relict field banks or scarps creating small rectangular fields (dims c. 30m x c. 20m to c. 50m x c. 50m) amongst which are the foundations of at least two houses (dims c. 8m x 4m to 10.5m x 5m). A third structure (ext. dims 17.8m E-W; 7.2m N-S; int. dims 10m E-W; 4.4m) with a wide gap (Wth 4m) in the S wall is thought to be a church.
