Visited 09 July 2019. An extensive search failed to locate this hut circle. There is a lot of molinia in the area but it should not have prevented finding the feature if it had been visible.

This monument includes a stone hut circle situated on a gentle south-facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Meavy. The building is terraced into the hillslope and survives as a stone and earth bank, 1.0 metres wide and standing up to 0.4 metres high, defining a circular flat internal area measuring 6.6 metres in diameter. This structure forms an outlying part of a small enclosed settlement situated immediately to the north. This hut lies within a field system which is not included in the scheduling because its character and extent are not known.
