Plough-denuded remains of an enclosed hutgroup of later prehistoric character were recorded during Royal Commission aerial reconnaissance on 3rd October 2024, and confirmed on LiDAR data. The hut group comprises the remains of three circular huts, now heavily ploughed down, surviving within a polygonal walled enclosure c.30m across. The hutgroup is connected to a field boundary on the north side, and forms part of a wider pattern of relict fields and settlements in this improved pasture. There is the likelihood of significant buried archaeological remains at this location.
