Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset., MPP 130974 (Report - Survey). SDV277946.
Visited on 20th April 1993. Hut circle within a small settlement. Simple plan and single orthostat walling type. Interior measures 5.5 metres in diameter and is defined by a 2.5 metres wide wall standing up to 0.6 metres high. A slight hollow measuring 1 metre by 0.8 metres by 0.1 metres deep, in the south-west corner of the interior suggests partial early excavation, robbing or modern military re-use.
This building is one of 5 huts, forming a string of apparently unconnected structures. It is, however, likely that these huts were originally linked to each other by a timber palisade or similar structure which now survives as a buried feature.
