A prehistoric hut circle is incorporated into the wall of an enclosure on the lower western slope of the Erme Valley, to the north of Blatchford Bottom. The hut and enclosure are part of a settlement complex (see MDV4321). The embanked walls of this hut are very spread and turf covered. Some stone of the interior facing wall survives, suggesting an internal diameter of approximately 6.5 metres.
