Iron Age hut circle, west of Gannets Combe, above South Combe. Diameter circa 7 metres. The eastern side has been robbed away. It gives the impression of being slightly rectangular and orientated north-south. Single stones provide an outline on the south, west and north sides. A possible doorway may be seen in the south-west corner. Other odd hut sites lie to the north-west of the Widow's Tenement enclosure south of the main North End settlement area.
