"A stout timber hut roofed with reed, set low out of the wind with a central hearth"
A roof of reed atop the top: pitched low to shed rain and heavy gusts. A hearth of stone inside the centre: set with flat stones to hold the embers through the night. A doorway of timber facing the south: fitted with a heavy latch on the leeward side. A storage rack of timber along the north side, hung with dry provisions, cordage, and spare gear.
Of this land: timber, reed, stone.

THE FIRING KILN — beside the marker stone. Small, about 4 m. Timber, rope. On the ground.
"A thick-walled timber kiln with a low draft tunnel and a sheltered fuel rack"
A chimney flue of timber atop the top: daubed tight to draw a steady draft. A fuel rack of rope along the east side: stacked with dry kindling under a narrow eave.
Of this land: timber, rope.

A história, como Jago T conta

Do lugar

• Upper Flat was laid out by Jago Trevithick, who marked the grass meadow first and set the timber hut to face out of the prevailing weather.

Do povo

• They keep a dry stack of fuel beside the timber hut and share the first meal at the hearth with any traveller who crosses the grass meadow. (heard when a people lives here)
• Before winter sets in they check the lashings and stones of the firing kiln and sing the names of the first four who came. (heard when a people lives here)
