Description
Small rural settlement comprised of the remains of three rectangular buildings set on earthen platforms built into the slope of the ground. The settlement could date from as early as the medieval period. The dwellings are visible today as low stone foundations with a rubble core sandwiched between inner and outer facing stonework. One dwelling was subdivided internally and may have been a long house.
