There is no local knowledge of these hut circles and the name "Middle Hill" is not known locally. An extensive ground search proved negative. Mrs Drummond could not be located.

Nebit NN 912 035 NN90SW

Faint traces of field-systems were visible under bracken cover in this hill, but nothing could be seen of the cultivation terraces and hut circles recorded in the area. A turf enclosure-bank runs from NW to SE just S of the summit of the hill at c. NS 889 986. A further fragment of bank exists low down on the S face of the hills at NS 887 975, just N of Rhoders Farm
