A bank circa 1.2 metres wide is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 2008 enclosing an oval hollow up to 5 metres across, just south of the summit of Dewerstone Rock.
The bank is interpreted as the possible remains of a hut circle of Bronze Age date, possibly associated with the enclosure and hut circle immediately to the north (MDV2381 and MDV63617). No break in the bank that could be interpreted as an entrance was identifiable on the sources available to the survey.
