Full Description

A (sheiling type?) settlement located on hillock comprising of outcropping rock, boulder field and peaty soil. This site has appproximatley ten structures incorparated into the boulder field. Due to this, their form is irregular and several have attached annex's and possible enclosures. The eastern most structures are located on an isolated mound and appear to be built upon an earlier structure. Craggan type ware was noted under some of the boulders. The location of the site is situated in the lea side of the hillock and gives the impression of being well hidden.
