Dreemlang, Ballachrink Hut Circle

Archaeology

On the summit of the field opposite Dreemlang House there are a number of disc-shaped hollows which have been interpreted as the possible remains of hut circles.  The edges of the hollows had been worn down by the plough but they still showed a considerable depth and retained their circular shape.  


A local informant suggested that antiquarians used to dig in these hollows "but I don't think they ever found anything. My husband is of the opinion that they are created by the extraction of quartz of which there is considerable quantities just below the surface." The area is grass covered and is particularly heavy with vague elongated hollows which are common to the immediate district.
