Full description

Greeves, T. A. P., 1982, Dunnabridge Farm (Plan - measured). SDV266230.

Hut circle internally 8.5 metres to 9 metres across with a partially robbed wall 1 metre wide and 0.5 metres high, the east side is missing. The hut is bisected by a low ragged wall, however it is not clear whether this is a deliberate sub-division or the result of dumping. A small annex lies against the north-east side of the hut.
