(SX 5910 6530) One of two hut circles forming part of a partially enclosed stone hut circle settlement (see also MDV3486). They survive as banks of earth and stone surrounding a circular internal area and are abutted by lengths of boundary wall leading from nearby enclosure. These banks measure 1m wide and 0.5m high and surround an 18m by 12m area. This enclosure is attached to enclosure (SX56NE/163) and is therefore more recent.
Both huts are constructed on pronounced terraces and are of the simple plan and rubble bank walling type. The interior of the western structure is 3.2m in diameter and the surrounding 1.5m wide wall stands up to 0.53 high. This hut is site No.102 517d in the National Trust Upper Plym inventory.
