One of 23 hut circles.

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

Hut at SX61347423. A disturbed and mutilated circular enclosure which apparently incorporates 2 small structures of uncertain origin and function. The enclosure is approximately 12.6 metres in internal diameter and it possibly has a double-faced wall of small boulders slabs and stones and measures 1 metre wide and on average 0.4 metres high. There are wide gaps in the north-west and south-east sides and much debris is scattered in the interior. The internal 2 structures are very disturbed and difficult to interpret on the ground; they appear to be built against the enclosure wall, one measures 2.8 metres by 2.6 metres and the second approximately 4.1 metres by 3.6 metres. One or both could be hut circles within an enclosure as suggested by Prowse.
