Pattison, P., 1988, Duchy Farms Survey (includes Cuddliptown Down) (Report - Survey). SDV226221.

Visited on 24th April 1988. Feature 'F' at SX 5401 7854. Probably not a hut circle as illustrated by Ordnance Survey assessor at SX 5400 7853. It is possibly one of the small enclosures measuring 1.5 metres to 2 metres internally and defined by rubble walls 2 metres wide by 0.55 metres high.

Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset. (Report - Survey). SDV277946.

Visited in 1992. Oval of 2 metres by 1.5 metres internally. Rubble bank wall 2 metres wide, 0.55 metres high. Some doubt over identification because it is associated with 2 other small enclosures. May be another small enclosure.
