Archaeology

The site of a cruciform feature within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date.  


It is a large irregular mound of four arms partly surmounted by a modern wall. Its average height is 1.5 metres.  It has been interpreted as a group of elongated huts or some central feature of the settlement.  It has also been suggested as a funerary or ritual monument.
