(ND 010 191) Hut Circles (NR). (Three shown A-C).

OS 6" map, (1964)

Three hut circles were located during field investigation.

Visited by OS (J L D) 25 May 1960.

On an E-facing moorland slope is a settlement of three heather-covered hut circles ('A'-'C'), with each hut built onto the slope. They are oval and range in size internally from 'A' 8.0m SE-NW by 7.0m to 'C' 7.0 m SE-NW by 6.0m. The walls have spread to an average of 2.0m broad, and the entrances are in the SE. There are a number of clearance heaps, particularly around 'B', and a few lynchets visible, but any field pattern has been obscured by peat cover.

Resurveyed at 1:10 560.

Visited by OS (J B) 12 May 1976.
