Six freestanding hut circles to the north-west of the enclosed prehistoric settlement (MDV4243) on a western slope above the River Erme, north of Blatchford Bottom. The huts, which are dispersed over 110 metres above and below the 36 5 metre OD contour, are small, and comprise turf-covered flattish mounds, or circles of approximately 7 metres diameter and up to 0.3 metres high. Very little stone is visible above the turf, with the exception of one hut, which has a measurable diameter of approximately 4 metres.

(23/07/2019) The scattered circular remains of this settlement have long been difficult to identify. They are, perhaps, too small to have been dwellings although an entrance is identifiable for most. The regular, rectangular bands of peat cutting can been seen between them, stretching out east- west. Heavier grasses abound and overgrow the monuments at this time of year.
