A linear earthwork runs just to the SSE of the hut circle and represents part of a field system of contemporary date. The area to be scheduled includes the hut circle, the linear earthwork and an area around in which traces
of activities associated with the occupation of the settlement will survive. The area measures 35m SW-NE by 40m NW-SE and is shown in red on the attached plan.
