An Unenclosed Platform Settlement (UPS) is formed by taking a semi-circular scoop out of a hillside and using the materials to build a circular level platform on the downslope side. A timber house is then built on the platform.
Walk SE from Fall Hill. A good UPS can be seen after 35m.
Continue round the S side of Normangill Rigg to the small plantation where another good UPS can be seen on the E side near the gate. This and others in the vicinity correspond with the grid reference given for this entry.
Continue walking E parallel to the road where further UPSs can be seen near the sheepfold at NS 971211.This post appears as part of the weblog entry One and a half day returns to Lanarkshire. |
