(28/05/1980) At SX 56207020, 7.0m. from the northeast side of a reave (SX 67 SE 119), there is an oval hut, in very poor condition, on a slight southeast slope. Internally it measures 3.6m. by 2.4m., and appears to be of Type 2 (SX 56 NE 71), with double-faced walling, 0.8m. wide and 0.2m. high. The entrance is on the southeast with one side extended outwards beyond the other but not overlapping (see ground photograph).
Surveyed at 1:10 000 on M.S.D. and at 1:1250 (for which see illustration with SX 67 SE 119).
