What is recorded here
At least one circular hut, five and a half metres across, stood south of the ringfort centre, perhaps joined by a second. The main structure was large enough for several people, a fire, and the ordinary business of living inside a defended place. The second may have been a smaller workspace or a chamber for keeping tools clear of the weather. Together they suggest the ringfort was not an empty showpiece but a working home where people cooked, slept, and waited out the seasons.
At least one hut site (LH005-020002-) (diam. 5.5m) and possibly a second (LH005-020003-) to S of centre of the interior of ringfort (LH005-020001-).
