In the 1860s in excess of 50 buildings were recorded, but now numbers around 20.
Active settlement was on this location for sometime, and not all the remains seen are contemporary with each other.
Finds at this location, and very nearby, date occupation from mesolithic to Romano British times.
The hut circles seen are obvious, but there are a number of square features. The guidebook likens them to souterrains, and were probably used as storage structures.
Looking north west, from the most prominent high ground amongst the settlement. Baz is just off centre, while Jez & Elaine explore a rectangular feature to the right. |
