Summary
Previously a record was placed here for two huts (C and D), relating to enclosure MDV5804, presumably due to an error with the grid references. Gerrard included these on list to possibly schedule but had this visit been carried out, the error would likely have been corrected.

Two possible hut circles can be seen on the aerial photography (but not newer versions).
NB: this source appears to have been quoted erroneously; appears likely there are no huts at this location and the reason an SMR/HER record was placed at this location originally was due to an incorrect NGR being quoted. See notes field (Richards, A. F., 06/08/2021).
