Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset., MPP 26/4/1993 (Report - Survey). SDV277946.
Hut circle terraced into the hillslope and of the simple plan, double orthostat and earthwork walling type. Interior measures 5.8 metres in diameter and is defined by a 1.9 metres wide wall standing up to 0.6 metres high, except on the south side where a 0.4 metre high scarp denotes the location of a buried wall.
Linked to a length of curved boundary wall which denotes the northern edge of the settlement. The boundary wall appears to abut the hut, strongly suggesting that the hut is earlier than the wall.
