Enclosures and hut circles at Petre's Pits Bottom. The southern enclosure is D-shaped with three sides defined by substantial walls up to 1.8m wide and 1m high and the fourth side formed by a steep scarp slope which was probably the result of tin working activity. A small tinner’s cache inserted into the southern wall of the enclosure still retains its corbelled slab roof forming a beehive shape, has two entrances and measures approximately 1.5 metre in diameter internally.
