A single hut circle with a diameter of about 8 meters, tucked away in a gully between Comb Scar & Comb Hill. Protected from the elements by steep slopes to the north, east & west, with an open view looking south towards Malham. The entrance to dwelling faces east towards the steep slope.
This site was excavated in 1959 & is thought to date from the Bronze Age.
Well worth a visit for its location.
