NY 963813: A settlement area consisting of a small field system and two badly robbed unenclosed round houses, at NY 96168121 and NY 96238124, were found on Sweethope Crags. A probable robbed cairn, 11m in diameter, at NY 96368122 was also found along with a recent oval enclosure at NY 96158136. Surveyed at 1:1250. (1)
Three or four superimposed field systems lie on the slope above Sweethope Crags. Remains of two unenclosed Bronze Age round houses; overlain by parallel stony banks associated with the RB homestead (NY 98 SE 1); and rigg ploughing which is probably medieval. (2)

Two areas of cord rig identified at c.NY 96258127 and c.100m to the south. The rig is roughly aligned east-west and measures 1.4m between furrows. The northern block is bound on the west side by a bank and appears to overlie a less substantial bank. The southern block is bound on the north side by a bank. (7)
