Summary
Identified in the 1980s, this feature was confirmed through field survey in 1988 as a probable hut. The hut has been levelled into the slope to a depth of about 0.2 metres and the predominantly earthen bank is slightly higher externally; there is no evidence of an entrance. The slope has been cut back for about 3 metres around the uphill side of the hut, possibly as a drainage channel.
