Homestead '2' to the east of Bush Down is cut through by the main road. Two fields are built onto the end reave with a pair of huts on the perimeter. A section of the wall above the road can be traced only as a ditch where the stones have been grubbed up, a fate from which the exceptional size of the slabs making up the walls of the huts has preserved them.
