Full description

Newman, P. + Probert, S., 1994, Hutholes (Report - Survey). SDV351996.

(21/07/1994) Building 6. Remains of a building at the eastern edge of the site, oriented north-south and which has been incorporated into later enclosure walls on two sides. Of the remaining exposed section, the north wall is turf-covered and not completely visible. Only the western wall survives in its entirety and includes the entrance at the southern end. A transverse revetment wall about 0.6 metres high separates off the northern portion of the building which contains the oven and kiln found during excavation. However, these were covered with vegetation at the time of the survey and not visible. Map object based on this source.

Hutholes is located in the Manor of Rowdon between Rowden Down and Wind Tor. A survey was undertaken in 2000 to identify any phasing in wall construction of Building 6. It was found that the southern end of the north wall contained Medieval fabric but most of the walling and wall bank are boundaries of Late Medieval or Post-Medieval date constructed on top of the Medieval building.
