Ancient Village or Settlement in Cumbria

"The monument includes a prehistoric unenclosed stone hut circle settlement located on a slightly elevated ridge on the western slopes of Grey Hill 930 metres south east of Ashycroft. The site occupies drier ground than the surrounding area and includes four stone hut circles of varying sizes together with a short length of stone banking."
