Full description

Probert, S. A. J., 1990, Field Investigation - Report available? (Report - Survey). SDV218442.

(02/05/1990) Centred SX 6430 8527 on the crest and moderate east-facing slope of Langridge are four huts (1-4 on the accompanying plan and tabulation) and three short lengths of prehistoric walling. They are separated from a much larger settlement (SX 68 NW 21) by a broad band of clitter situated in a dry combe.
The ovoid huts have diameters between 3.2m and 4.2m with walls 0.9m to 1.3m wide and up to 0.3m high. Two, (1 and 4) show signs of entrances.
Hut (1), (previously recorded under SX 68 NW 21,) has been included in this group as it lies on the same side of the broad clitter spread.
