(NR 8914 3073) Hut Circle (NR)
OS 6" map, (1924).
NR 8914 3075. A heather-covered hut circle is situated in undulating moorland at approximately 350ft OD. The earth and stone bank, spread to 3.5m and up to 1.0m high, encloses a level, featureless interior 7.0m in diameter. The entrance is not clear, but a slight lowering of the bank in the south-west may indicate its position.
To the north and west of the hut is a group of heather-covered stony mounds. They average 4.0m in diameter and 0.5m in height. These are clearance heaps contemporaneous with the hut, but there is no evidence of a field pattern.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (TRG) 13 October 1977.
