MMO1777 - Bronze Age hut circle north of Trentishoe Down (Monument)

A possible Bronze Age hut circle is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs to the north of Trentishoe Down. Centred at SS 6288 4809, the hut circle consists of a circular bank surrounding a hollow, measuring 16 metres across; the interior of the bank measures approxiomately 11 metres across. It is located at the top of a north facing slope on a natural plateau. At least three other well-preserved hut circles of similar construction lie within 200 metres of this monument, and are believed to date to the Bronze Age.
