(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.

Visited by OS (WDJ) 27 August 1962

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

See type site NY29NE 16.

Visited by OS (IA) 10 October 1973.
