(01/05/1990) Centred SX 6430 8554 on the gentle north-east facing slope of Langridge 75m west of Langridge Field (SX 68 NW 23) are four poorly preserved huts. Their diameters are between 3.8m and 5.0m with disturbed turf-covered walls approximatley 1.0m wide and 0.3m high. Entrances and wall facing slabs are not visible. In several places the walls have been robbed, presumably to furnish material for the Langridge Field enclosure.
