Two Neo phases included traces of two small round houses and some hearths, together with greenstone axes, flint knives, arrowheads and scrapers, and pottery of Grimston style (discussion by J G Scott). Succeeding phases were represented by a semi-circular cairn and cist, and an isolated cist and hearth, all of BA; an oblong timber-built house (Late Iron Age?); an iron bloomery and a hearth radiocarbon dated to the 7th century AD; a rectangular stone-built house; and four ?medieval stone-built circular and rectilinear houses.
