The site of a sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date. It is an elongated mound on a north-south alignment.
Of the elongated mounds in the group it is significant that they are nearly all orientated north-south i.e. across the contours of the slope. In several examples it is obvious that the elongation results from a build up on the downhill side and provide a level platform for a round hut on top. In some of the cases mentioned the outline of the round hut can be traced by a barely perceptible bank. The elongation is not always so easily explained since in some cases the top slopes down only slightly less than the surrounding ground.
The site of a sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date. It has a fairly level oval, almost rectilinear top.

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.
Its cruciform plan may indicate that it is a medieval pillow mound.

The site of a sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date. It is one of the best examples in the group. It is built-up to hold a circular hut whose diameter of 4.0 metres is still traceable. The mound is 10.0 metres x 8.0 metres by 0.6 metres high.

The site of a sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date. It is a T-shaped mound with the cross piece orientated east-west, along the hill contour, and measuring 14.0 metres in length. From the outside top of the T to the foot of its stem measures 11.0 metres. On the east arm of the T is a level platform on which is a traceable circular bank with a diameter of 3.0 metres, which looks like a small hut or pen.
The site of a well-preserved sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date. It is a very irregular mound with a tail stepped down to the south. Its length north to south is 13.0 metres and its average width is 8.0 metres. Its average height is 1.5 metres. It appears to have held a building stepped up in two stages - the upper part appears to have been rectangular.

The site of a Bronze Age or Early Medieval barrow. It survives as a ditchless, grass-covered barrow with a diameter of 8.0 metres and height of 1.0 metres. A small mound has been added to the surviving southern section, but the original southern edge has been ploughed away.
This barrow was recorded as being "2 to 3 foot" high in 1928 at which time flints were found here, which may point to a prehistoric date for the feature.
