The sites for two houses are situated immediately to the west and north of the levelled remains of two conjoined enclosures. The outline of the smaller subcircular enclosure on the north is still clearly visible on the ground. The site of the larger sub-rectangular enclosure is not now evident. There is a tradition of a cave associated with the enclosures. Test-trenches revealed nothing of archaeological interest on either site.
