Full description
Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset., MPP 140360, 02/06/1995 (Report - Survey). SDV277946.
Hut circles within an enclosure forming part of an agglomerated enclosure including at least 5 distinct areas (see also MDV55391). Both huts are terraced into the hillslope and are of the simple plan and rubble bank walling type.
(SX 5948 6683) The relationship of this hut to the enclosure is less clear, although again it is likely to be earlier. The interior of this hut is 4.3m in diameter and is surrounded by a 1.6m wide wall standing up to 0.3m high, except on the w where a scarp denotes the position of the wall, which now survives as a buried feature.
