The National Monuments Service's description
One of a number of hut sites in a cluster on a steep S-facing slope below the stone rampart of the hillfort on Brusselstown Hill (WI027-018----), within the larger Spinans Hill hillfort complex (WI027-078001- / WI021-080001-). A circular hut site (diam. 5.7m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by grass- and moss-covered boulders at E and S (Wth 1.6m). It is not well defined at W where there is a gap of 2.5-3m. At N some boulders provide a break in the natural slope. (Grogan No. 12, SMR file)
