Summary
One of six animal runs surviving in close proximity to each other, as a series of separate and interconnected gullies situated within a partially enclosed hut settlement. Includes a linear ditch measuring 32m long 0.8m wide and 0.3m deep. It leads from a hut circle and cuts another hut and an enclosure. These gullies probably represent a complex system of animal runs in which rabbits and vermin could have been trapped.
