(SX 5861 6332) A curvilinear bank up to circa 1.5m wide is visible as a stony earthwork on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2002 and is identifiable as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The bank defines a small oval enclosure almost 8m across, either abutting or defining part of the external southern boundary of the enclosure MDV2425.
The visible earthwork is interpreted as a hut circle of probable Bronze Age to Iron Age date. It is one of 8 associated with the adjacent larger enclosure. A second, slightly smaller hut circle is conjoined to the west.
