What is recorded here

Hut site described by Cuppage (1986, 128, no. 361) as follows; 'Situated on the lower SW slopes of Reenconnell, this site was not noted on the OS maps. It consists of a circular univallate ringfort [KE042-017----], within which are the remains of 2 conjoined huts [KE042-017001-]. An E-W laneway, c. 2m wide, cuts across the N sector of the fort but its N wall preserves the line of the original enclosure. The 2 roughly circular huts are located against the S side of the lane. The E hut is 3.9m in diameter internally. Its wall is also reduced to a stony bank, 0.2 to 0.7m high, except to N where the lane wall again curves outwards. There is a wide gap in the bank at SE'.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
