Full Description

G63 (NF676044) Pronounced mound incorporating many embedded stone blocks on raised knoll. Possible traces of a circuit wall enclosing area 10.6 x 9.1 m, but much robbing has disturbed and obscured the structure. The overall size and character of the stone blocks is similar to prehistoric roundhouses and we tentatively identify this site as such.
