(20/06/1977) Centred at SX 57396456 are six type 2 huts on a southwest facing slope at 320.0m. O.D. (Type site: SX 56 NE 71). All are in poor condition with levelled interiors and most have southwest entrances. The internal diameters are from 4.0m. to 6.5m. with a mean of 5.5m. with walling up to 1.0m. high and 2.0m. thick. The huts at SX 57396452 and SX 57406451 have 'porches' outside the entrances. The close proximity with similar huts suggests association with the enclosed settlement of SX 56 NE 12.
Surveyed 1:10 000 on P.F.D./.AM.
