Faint traces of field-systems were visible under bracken cover in this hill, but nothing could be seen of the cultivation terraces and hut circles recorded in the area. A turf enclosure-bank runs from NW to SE just S of the summit of the hill at c. NS 889 986. A further fragment of bank exists low down on the S face of the hills at NS 887 975, just N of Rhoders Farm
