(NS 2978 7376) Hut Circle (NR)
OS 25" map (1967)
This hut circle measures 27ft to 30ft in diameter within a heavily-built wall 5ft to 6ft thick, with a 6 ft wide entrance in the E. It is buttress-built on the W. A wall runs diagonally across the entrance for 18ft to the NE. To the W, a turf dyke partly encloses about 1 acre.
By analogy with sites at Martin Glen (NS26NW 9) and Rottenburn (NS26NE 14), this hut circle is probably of Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age date (Newall 1976).
