Hut Circles and Tumulus.
Update September 2022: This site is recorded as Historic England List ID 1004244, 'Stone hut circle 390m south east of Little Brea Farm'.
This entry tells us: "The monument includes a stone hut circle, situated on the lower northern slopes of the prominent coastal hill called Carn Brea. The stone hut circle survives as a circular central area of approximately 7m in diameter defined by 1.4m high and 1.7m thick walls with some inner and outer facing orthostats. The hut circle has been incorporated into a field boundary. The hut circle was first noted by Dudley."
