OS 6" map, (1963)

The feature at NC 7000 4375 is a hut circle on a crest in a west facing hillside discovered during field investigation (OS {JLD}) Associated cultivation is denoted in sporadic heaps of field clearance nearby, but measurable plots are not discernible. The hut, is 10.5m diameter inside a wall 0.4m high and estimated width 1.4m; an entrance is in SE. Extending from the entrance across the hut interior are footings of uncertain purpose. An obscure rectangular enclosure, 7m by 4m, abuts the hut exterior in NE arc, and outside against SW arc, are possible indications of two further structures. The feature at NC 7004 4370 is an arc of turf covered rubble, 0.3m high and spread 2m broad, on W edge of "lazy-bed" cultivation. It may be the east segment of a hut circle elsewhere completely destroyed by the later agriculture.
Revised at 1/10,000. Visited by OS (JLD) 11 May 1960 and (JM) 27 May 1977.
