NG31NE 7 398 162.
The group of hut circles at the foot of the slope below the cave (NG31NE 5) may well represent the hamlet whose successive generations of Beaker stone-knappers and Iron Age iron-smelters came up to work in the cave.
W L Scott 1934.
Below the cave, at NG 398 162 , there is a roughly circular ring of stones, some 15.0m in diameter, in close proximity to a ruined cottage. It is more likely to be the vestigial remains of a small yard/enclosure than a hut-circle. No other feature resembling a hut-circle was found in the area, and Mr Maclean of Glen Brittle who is familiar with the locale had no knowledge of any hut-circles hereabouts.
Visited by OS (C F W) 9 April 1961.
