NR83SE 31 8919 3059.

NR 8919 3059. A heather-covered hut circle was found during field investigation situated in low-lying moorland. It measures 13.5m in overall diameter and has an entrance 1.5m wide in the SSE; there is also a mutilation in the SW. The bank is spread to a maximum width of 4.0m and stands up to 0.7m high.

Within 50.0m of the hut circle on the north-east are three low heather-covered mounds which are probably contemporary stone clearance heaps.

Surveyed at 1:10 000.

Visited by OS (BS) 29 November 1977.
