The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the SE quadrant of enclosure (ME038-001----). A circular hut-site (int. diam. 4.65m) defined by a slot-trench (Wth 0.35m) with a narrow opening (Wth 0.35m) at W was very close to the inner edge of the fosse of the enclosure (ME038-001----). There was no evidence of a bank or palisade associated with the enclosure fosse but the hut-site would have been covered by any internal bank and it probably pre-dates the enclosure. (Wiggins et al. 2009)
