The stone hut circle 400m south east of Great Nodden survives comparatively well and contains archaeological remains and environmental evidence relating to the monument, the economy of its inhabitants and the landscape in which they lived. As such, it provides a valuable insight into the nature of Bronze Age occupation on the west side of the Moor. This hut lies a short distance from a stone hut circle settlement and will therefore contain information concerning the development of settlements within this area.
