What is recorded here
The foundations of this structure occur close to the enclosing bank of enclosure (KE078-002001-) at WSW. Only the W half is apparent, where the wall measures 1.3m thick. The interior, which is 3m in diameter, is filled with loose stone. Immediately to S are two upright stones, 1m and 0.45m high. It is not clear if these stones are connected with the hut or if they functioned as grave-markers.
See attached plan taken from Henry 1957, fig. 14, 91.
