The lidar data shows a number of indentations in this area from the nearby streamworking, but there is a clear circular feature located at SX66467 60895, on the eastern side of the earthwork bank, which is also visible on the 1940s Royal Air Force aerial photographs. This is thought to be a possible hut circle and location appears more likely than the original grid reference for this feature given from the 1977 aerial photograph.
