What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a terrace on the S-facing slope of Twomilestone ridge. This is the approximate location of a hut site first recorded by Davies (1942, 100), one of several hut sites (see also DG103-057005-, DG103-058----, DG103-060----, DG107-004003-) he found on the ridge. He designated it as ‘hut f’ and recorded it as follows: ‘Hut f, which is barely traceable, is circular and about 9 yds. [8m] across.’ It was extant in 1981 when it was recorded by Lacy et al. (1983, 154, no. 923) as ‘A subcircular area defined by a scatter of grass-covered stones, only barely discernible. The interior is level. It is situated just below the crest of Two Mile Ridge on its S side in rocky pasture land.’ The area was inspected in 2015; no visible trace of this possible hut site was evident.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
