Hut site in Grange

A group of four hut sites (SL005-033002-, SL005-033003-, SL005-033005-, SL005-033006-) can be distinguished in the N portion of the area. The hut sites are located to the N of a curving relict field boundary in a semi-circular area (area c. 2 acres) of low rocky pasture at the base of the hillock that lies to the E. The hut sites are clearly in a group and enclosed within the semi-circular area distinct from the remainder of the area. The ground here is rocky, undulates irregularly with a slight W-facing slope. Views are excellent inland SW - W, excellent toward the sea W - N and poor to higher ground N - SW. This hut site is located c. 20m to the SW of SL005-03303- and 2m to the W of SL005-03306-. It consists of a square area (4m N-S; 3.8m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.6m; H 0.2m). The bank encloses the site on all sides but is best preserved NE - SE. The original entrance is not recognisable. An E-W orientated relictt field boundary bank of earth and stone (Wth base 2.8m; H 0.4m) abuts the edge of the hut at W. The interior is undulates gently, sloping slightly facing W and is clear of overgrowth. The area around the hut undulates irregularly possibly indicating other structures or features.
