1992 (SX 5610 8418) Hut circle surviving as earthwork. Internal diameter measures 3m, defined by a 1.4m wide wall standing up to 0.5m high. This building lies south-west of an enclosed stone hut circle settlement (SX58SE/15) and is probably contemporary with many of the huts within that settlement. This hut may have been abandoned at the time when the stone and earth enclosure boundary was constructed around the majority of the huts within the group.
