Notes
HER: The largest hut circle in the Assycombe Brook settlement of 8.1 metres with walls 1.5 metres wide by 0.9 metres high and the only one not to have been planted over. It is on the south side and at the west end of Assycombe Stone Row. It was excavated in 1894 in an attempt to discover the relationship between it and the stone row. Unfortunately, however, it was found to have been dug into as a source of stone and nothing useful was found.. Breton p.68.References
