Very basic sketch (not to scale) of the settlement on Pigtrough Rigg. Those water courses marked as drains on the sketch map and shown as water courses on the modern OS map have been formed from the dikes / entrenchments that enclosed the settlement.

The map references for the features are given below and are from official records unless otherwise stated.
