Summary
A robbed hut circle on the gentle east-facing slope of Langridge 90m north of Langridge Field. Situated within an extensive parallel reave system (SX 68 NW 24) it lies adjacent to a reave in an area disturbed by later stone gathering. The hut, slightly terraced into the slope, measures 4.3m north-south by 3.8m east-west internally; part of its internal facing, 0.25m high is visible. The walls have been stripped of stone presumably to furnish material for the Langridge Field enclosure.
