The National Monuments Service's description
On a break in an E-facing slope c. 100 SE of the stone rampart of the hillfort on Brusselstown Hill (WI027-018----), within the larger Spinans Hill hillfort complex (WI027-078001- / WI021-080001-). An oval hut site (diam. 9.6m N-S; 7.5m E-W) defined by boulders. The interior slopes slightly to the E with the natural slope of the hill. A field boundary (Wth 0.6m) (part of field system WI027-078006-) extends NNE from the N side. Another hut site lies c. 8m to the S.
