Hut circle at SX54187883. Oval; 2.2 metres by 1.5 metres internally. Rubble bank wall 1.2 metres wide, 0.3 metres high. Lies at southern end of boulder wall which leads north and passes under reave (MDV19956) at SX54177885, continuing in a gentle north-western curve for 50 metres. The hut is attached to an enclosure wall which is now incomplete due to damage by later coaxial field system attached to Great Western Reave. Probably contemporary with enclosure 200 metres to north-east (MDV4162).
