The unenclosed round house is best preserved on the north and east sides and there is a possible entrance on the south side. The walls are c.1.6m wide and stand up to 0.4m high. The field clearance cairns lie mainly east of the round house and stand up to 0.6m high. The partly robbed burial cairn at NY 91858751 measures c.8m in diameter and stands up to 0.6m high. (4)
Staniel Heugh unenclosed settlement. Previous sources note an unenclosed round house, 45 field clearance cairns, a burial cairn, and cord-rigg. Upwards of 40 mounds of a range of sizes visible on lidar imagery, though some could be natural features. Difficult to define the extent of the complex on the basis of lidar alone; should be surveyed in detail on the ground. (5)
