Summary
One of six animal runs surviving in close proximity to each other, as a series of separate and interconnected gullies situated within a partially enclosed hut settlement. This example survives as a V-shaped gully with both arms facing downslope. The gully measures 0.6m wide and 0.15m deep. These gullies probably represent a complex system of animal runs in which rabbits and vermin could have been trapped.
