Full Description

B75 (NF668003) Complex consisting of heavily embedded foundations of a two-roomed building, 4.5 x 3 m, two small huts each 1.5 m square built either side of a nearby land boundary, and traces of a small rectangular stone setting. The three shelters are presumably of a different period to the small rectangular building, and on our view are probably the later of the two phases.
