More information : SV 91551292 (1) A circular building recorded by
Carlyon at Bar Point; partly covered by a sand bank, and being
eroded.
An occupation site in the area of the above hut was first noted
by Gray extending from the track ending at the beach (SV
91551283) to some hundred yards north where the ancient land
surface dips beneath the sand close to Bar Point. The 'remains'
seen by Gray consisted of small and medium sized stones
scattered thinly through the black soil and not considered
large enough to have formed actual buildings; no walling was
found and heavy robbing in antiquity is suggested. The only
structure was a small Tobaccoman's Hole at the south end of the
remains. A fair quantity of Bronze Age pottery was mixed with
the stones and soil, but very few worked flints and bones were
present. Confirmed as a hut by Russell but not visible on air
photographs. (1-4)
At SV 91541290 on the rock-littered shore below high water is
the seaweed-covered remains of an oval hut 3.0m by 2.0m
internally with rubble walls 1.2m thick and 0.2m high; the
entrance is not discernible. No other remains were seen.
Surveyed at 1:2500 on PFD.
