Prehistoric settlement on Cripdon Down. Remains of a settlement consisting of two or three square fields and the foundations of a small building which may have been a round house. The rectangle to the south of 70 metres by 44 metres is much better preserved being enclosed by a line of slabs set within a bank and probably of prehistoric construction. Two parallel banks lead to the north side of it. In 1876 several huts were recorded which had already been demolished. Other details: Map 21, Site 4.
