Outlines of 9 hut circles dating back to the Bronze Age (likely around 1700BC onwards) with low stone walls or banks enclosing an internal circular floor area. These would have had a conical thatched roof supported by a single upright pole and were occupied by farmers of the prehistoric period. The huts are immediately west of Butter Brook Reservoir.
