(SX 5918 6613) Hut circle survives as a bank of earth and stone surrounding a circular internal area and forms part of a partially enclosed hut settlement. It is of the simple plan and earthwork walling type. Its interior is oval, 6m by 3.5m and the surrounding 1.4m wide wall stands up to 0.3m high. A gap in the surrounding wall faces north-west and may represent an original doorway. The relationship to the historic boundary wall is not clear.
