Site of two possible hut circles which show up on a 2003 aerial photograph on the northwest side of Burgh Island. Other details: Email & aerial photograph.

Unfortunately the 2003 aerial photograph was not available to view at the time of the survey. Nothing is visible in this location on the 1940s aerial photographs, although a possible circular banked feature is visible on aerial photographs from 1986 at approximately SX6465643975. However vegetation growth makes interpretation problematic.
