(30/07/1999) Three disturbed prehistoric hut circles and fragmentary traces of contemporary walling lie on the moderate south-facing slope 100m east of the Drizzlecombe stone rows and centred at SX 5938 6699. The scattered short lengths of boulder/stone walling about 1.5m wide are located in fairly dense clitter and do not form a cohesive shape.
The three hut circles, all levelled into the slope, are not particularly well defined and are very ragged :
SX 5940 6699, 3.5m across with a sub-circular stone and boulder bank up to 0.5m high; the entrance gap is not discernible.
SX 5941 6701, a level stance 3.5m across with both a front and back scarp up to 0.4m high. The entrance was probably on the west side and one upright slab is visible.
SX 5935 6697, internal diameter from 2.0m to 2.6m with a poor boulder/stone bank up to 0.6m high. The position of the entrance is not obvious.
