(A: NT 0278 1193; B: NT 0280 1193; C: NT 0282 1193) Hut Circles (NR)
OS 6" map, (1962)
Three hut circles lie on the gentle N slopes of Harthope Bank. 'A', the westernmost, is a turf-banked enclosure measuring 4.0m in diameter overall. 'B', 15.0m NE of 'A', is 5.0m in diameter, while 'C', 25.0m E of 'B', is 5.2m in diameter overall. Their enclosing banks are spread to 0.9m and are 0.2m high. No entrances were noted.
Visited by OS (W D J) 11 August 1959
NT 028 120: Within an area of pasture and rough ground is a group of several clearance heaps of modern appearance with no trace of connecting lynchets. There are also four or five circular turf-walled enclosures, about 5.0m in diameter overall, and the footings of two rectangular buildings.
None of the features in this area is of any great age and all are probably part of a post-medieval farm complex.
The northernmost of the three 'hut circles' has been destroyed by the construction of a hill road.
Information from: OS Rev 24 August 1982.
