Full description

Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset., MPP 140363, 02/06/1995 (Report - Survey). SDV277946.

(SX 5954 6682) One of three hut circles (the others are at SX 5951 6678 and SX 5954 6679). They lie within a partially enclosed area situated between the two agglomerated blocks forming this settlement. The northern hut is attached to a length of boundary wall, all three are terraced into the hillslope and are of the simple plan type, two have a rubble bank wall and one survives as an earthwork.
The interior of the northern hut is 3m in diameter and the surrounding wall is 1.2m wide and 0.3m high.
These huts lie between the two earliest enclosures within the settlement, and it is possible that this area was never completely enclosed and therefore the gap on the south-western side may be original.
