Notes
HER (MDV28535): The remains of three adjoining enclosures and a single infilled hut circle lie in open moorland above the right bank of Spanish Lake.A little to the south there is (MDV2546) A cluster of four hut circles and two sub-rectangular structures lie on the gently sloping east flank of Lee Moor above Spanish Lake. Previously described by the Ordnance Survey in 1950 as seven huts but at least two of these features are thought to be later in date.
Further to the south (MDV2419): Two sub-rectangular enclosures containing four hut circles and associated structures on the gently sloping eastern flank of Lee Moor above Spanish Lake. Previously identified as having seven huts associated with it but some of these are thought to be later in date and may represent re-use of the site.
The combination of the enclosures is planned by Gerrard (1997) see p.50 Diagram 29.
