Full Description

rcA sub-rectangular platform is centred at SS 8045 4359 on south facing slopes on Manor Allotment. The feature measures 8 m west-east by 6.1 m, and is cut into the hillside by 0.5 m on the north side. Its north side has also been straightened by a path which runs along its crest. The date of the feature is uncertain; it may be a prehistoric hut circle, but its poor condition does not permit a confident interpretation. Found during field reconnaissance.
