An unenclosed prehistoric settlement of 13 ruined hut circles on the moderate eastern slope of the River Erme, which forms part of a large, spread settlement extending along the flank of Harford Moor. The huts are mostly of similar size, with a diameter of 4 to 5 metres, though some are smaller, and comprise spread, turf-covered stony banks of up to 1.5 metres wide, with some stones from the wall fabric still visible and in situ. The two huts forming the north and south extremity of the site are both surrounded by small, sub-circular enclosures of turf-covered stony banks, with an approximate diameter of 11 metres. Vestiges of other stony turf-covered walls extend between some of the hut circles.
Ordnance Survey, 2020, MasterMap 2020 (Cartographic). SDV363413.
Hut circles shown on modern mapping are grouped slightly to the south of the surveyed huts.
Historic England, 2020, National Heritage List for England, 1012765 (National Heritage List for England). SDV363414.
Some of the huts lie within the Scheduled area.
