(NY 2510 9920) Hut Circles (NR)
OS 6" map (1965)
On the N side of the cart-track which runs round the NE angle of the Roman Fort, NY29NE 5, are the remains of a small hut-circle 8.0m in diameter. It is formed by a slight turf bank c. 0.2m high and 15m to the N of the circle is a similarly constructed rectangular enclosure with rounded ends measuring 10m x 6.5m. No entrances were seen in either feature.
Surveyed at 1/2500.

Although generally as described these are not antiquities, but are merely 'sod dykes' for use as sheep pens.
