Full Description
Remains of hut circles, a field system and a kiln. The Schedule entry (1999) describes two hut circles, the remains of prehistoric round houses, comprising turf-covered stone walls. One measures circa 16m in diameter, the other circa 12m in diameter. To the southeast of the circles are the remains of a kiln of likely post-medieval date. The hut circles are part of a larger complex (NJ40SE0015) in Drummy Wood and the fields to the west. Survey of Drummy Wood by MAS in 2003 recorded a total of five hut circles within the scheduled area.
