More information : NT 92240736. Oval earthwork. (1)
Remains of a small earthwork situated upon a gentle east slope of
pasture at approx 800 ft above sea-level. It consists of four
contiguous irregular-shaped enclosures bounded by banks of earth and
stone. There are traces of what appear to have been two small
rectangular huts, end to end.
In the centre of the site, a small oval-shaped compartment may have
been another dwelling-place.
The site appears to have been a Homestead for one or more families
with their stock. (2)
The work in form and construction is consistent with the
local type of native homestead, the rectangular huts being possible
later additions.
In fair condition. Surveyed at 1:2500. (3)
The presence of any RB work here is questionable, the whole appears
to be contemporary and is more likely to be associated with the rig
and furrow ploughing to the N and W. (4)
