Notes
This hut circle is of great interest in as much as it lies in the path of the Hook Lake stone row. Indeed, one of the stones from the stone row is actually incorporated into the wall of the hut circle. The photo of this site shows two massive slabs of the hut circle on the left hand side of the photo. On the right hand side of the photo the Hook Lake stone row can be seen going down hill. For further coverage of this see the Stone Rows of Great Britain page linked from this record.References
