Full description

Royal Commission for the Historical Monuments of England, 1987-1993, Duchy Farms Project Survey Visit (Report - Survey). SDV350839.

(02/12/1987) Hut '4' at SX54007694. A possible hut stance now evident as a level area approximately 3 metres across and bounded by a low and very ragged line of boulders and stones. To the north-east there is a turf-covered linear stony line approximately 1.3 metres wide and 0.3 metres high but this may prove to be a partially exposed clitter line and must be regarded as a doubtful wall.
