House 1, Grid Reference: SW 4607 3424
Irregular shaped house, roughly 33 metres by 20 metres (measured on Google Earth). some internal divisions appear to be visible, on the northern side is an extant chamber with a narrow entrance that might be of modern construction
House 2, Grid Reference: SW 4613 3434
Circular walled enclosure, 25 metres in diameter, hardly any traces of recognisable internal features. This has possibly been maintained in more recent times as a cattle enclosure.
