The uphill wall of Hut 2 has been partly demolished and replaced by a feeble construction across the centre reducing the diameter by half and a narrow gap being left for an entrance. This was probably a tinner's undertaking used as a temporary dwelling whilst excavating the pit and ditch alongside.
