This is the location of an extensive Late Iron Age stone walled settlement. The site is highly overgrown with dense shrubs
and encompasses a large area. The site yielded several features and the layout conforms to Hall’s (1985) hill top
mode. A paved hut floor that measured tree meters in diameter was found inside a stone wall enclosure with a key
characteristic of the site being the numerous stone cairns situated outside of the stone walled enclosures. Several
broken lower grinders is scattered over the site. The site yielded thick ash deposits containing artefacts like undecorated ceramics and burned bone. The site is located between two low running ridges.
