At NC 96382271, in a vantageous position on the lower slopes of a hill shoulder and overlooking the SE, is a well-defined hut-circle. It is 9.5m diameter internally; the wall, heather-covered, stands to 0.8m and has a main spread of 2.5m expanding to 3.5m at a clubbed entrance from the SE. From its east side a horn projects across the front of the entrance in the form of a wind-break. There are no signs of associated cultivation.
There is no enclosure, hut-circle or anything of an artificial nature at NC 96392262. This may be a misplot of one of the huts recorded under NC 92 SE 10.
Revised at 1/10,000.
Visited by OS (J M) 8 December 1976
