| Name: | Hut circle 270 metres north-east of Lee Moor Clay works, Shaugh Prior |
|---|
Summary
The robbed remains of a hut circle and fragments of contemporary walling lie in open moorland on the south-western flank of Lee Moor below Shell Top. The hut remains as a crude circle of small upright slabs and boulders enclosing a levelled platform 2.5m in diameter. There is no obvious entrance. Attached to the hut are three short lengths of stony walling which represent the remains of at least two enclosures of indeterminate size. All portable stone has been removed from these features which now barely protrude above ground level.
