A ruined prehistoric hut circle to the north of an enclosure on the lower slopes of Stall Down; part of a large concentration of huts and enclosures spread across this location. The site was recorded whilst covered by dense summer bracken. The hut is cut into the slope on the west side and terraced on the east with a large stony bank of 4 metres wide and over 1 metre high in places. Some in situ stone has survived within the walls. The internal diameter would be approximately 5 metres or more.
