Description
A footpath runs along the top of the ridge which forms the west side of Rhossili Down. As it descends the north side of the ridge, towards Llangennith, it passes through a shallow, dry valley. In this sheltered location, on the east side of the track, lies a hut circle. It measures 4m in diameter within a stony bank 1m wide and 0.3m high. The bank incorporates some boulders on its north side, and inner stone facings are also visible in places. The ground rises to the south and west and the structure is slightly platformed where it has been cut into the slope. The site is densely overgrown with bracken.
