Monument record MHG12589 - Possible Hut Circle, Dalvina Lodge

NC64SE 6 6971 4266.

At NC 6971 4266 on a low knoll in fairly level moorland, is a sub-oval, turf-covered enclosure measuring 12.5m north-south by 10.0m east-west within a wall, 0.2m maximum height, and 1.7m wide in the south east, but generally vague elsewhere. The entrance is probably from the south. The shape of the enclosure is somewhat angular, and it is probably associated with nearby rig and furrow which, with rickles and heaps of stones, in almost certainly contemporary with Rosal township (NC64SE 12). However there are a small number of stone heaps, the size and disposition of which suggest earlier cultivation, and the enclosure may be a hut circle re-used at a much later, 18th/19th century date. Surveyed at 1:10000.
