Full Description

C20 (NF665027) Oval stone setting, 5.4 x 4.9 m, incorporating large block of rock on the south side, adjacent to which a gap in the setting suggests an entrance. Heavily embedded. Size of setting and of individual stones suggest this is not a simple shelter type A; it may be the stone foundation for a turf superstructure. Prehistoric/medieval hut?
