Full description
Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset., MPP 130593 (Report - Survey). SDV277946.
1992 (SX 5621 8427) Hut circle situated within an enclosure. It survives as an earthwork, is terraced into the hillslope and is of the simple plan type. The interior measures 6.8m in diameter and is defined by a 1.3m wide wall standing up to 0.4m high. This hut is the largest in the settlement and may therefore belong to a different phase of occupation, or may have served a different function.

Not shown at the 'Dead Lake Foot' settlement.
