A well-preserved and typical example of a platform house. A single rectangular building occupies a levelled platform at right-angles to the slope. The down-slope end is retained by a stone wall. Below this a small enclosure marks the position of the croft, while an area of ancient field with ridge and furrow adjoins the site to the S.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of medieval settlement. It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits. The structures themselves may be expected to contain archaeological information concerning chronology and building techniques.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
