A free standing prehistoric hut circle on the lower southern slopes of Stall Down is part of a large concentration of huts and enclosures spread across this location. The walls have much stone surviving and the internal diameter is up to 8 metres. The site was recorded whilst beneath summer bracken growth and was too densely covered for precise description or measurement.

The isolated hut at SX64046167 is of Type 1 with a sunken and levelled interior and a south-east entrance. Its internal diameter is 9.5 metres with walling 1.7 metres wide and 0.4 metres high, and is in poor condition. A ruined wall seems to connect the hut and
the enclosure at SX64046163.
