An area of c. 10 ha (c. 25 acres) contains small rectangular fields (dims c. 30m x c. 40m) defined by earthen banks. There is evidence of larger rectangular fields (dims c. 120m NE-SW; c. 0.7-100m) extending S from the small fields. Souterrain (RO028-016004-) is at the W end of the fields, and hut-site (RO028-016011-) is c. 100m to the W but enclosure (RO028-026006-) and the house-sites (RO028-016005-; RO-028-016007-) are within it.
