What they would be passing is an ancient hut site, oval in plan, measuring just over three metres east to west and two metres north to south. The defining bank of earth and stone survives to a height of between forty and sixty centimetres, which is enough to read clearly once you know what you are looking for, and the eastern entrance, less than a metre wide, is still discernible.

What makes this small structure quietly interesting is the engineering logic embedded in its construction. The builders did not simply place a hut on flat ground; they worked with the slope. The northern portion of the interior was cut roughly a metre into the hillside, while the southern portion was left raised, the two adjustments working together to produce a roughly level floor. Along the northern arc, where the bank meets the upslope, it is faced with rough stone and slabs, holding the cut edge in place. It is a practical solution, and an old one, to a problem that anyone who has tried to sleep on a hillside will immediately understand. Loose stones scattered across the interior are all that remains of whatever once stood within.
