Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology, working in partnership with the Woodland Trust, and the Overlooking the Wye Heritage Lottery Fund project funded the repair of the structure. In March 2011 Herefordshire archaeology staff and stone mason, Chris Hodges, took down the portion of wall which was under threat of collapse. After the structurally unsound length of wall had been dismantled the opportunity was taken to record the archaeology of the rampart bank that was exposed. The Hermitage, originally surveyed in 2010, is a Hermit's Hut was built as part of the 19th century parkland of Wyastone Leys House, a pleasure ground for the then owner Richard Blakemore. Richard Blakemore was a South Wales Iron Master who constructed the deer park that encloses Little Doward and its Iron Age hillfort in the first half of the 19th century. The structure comprised a single cell, single storey, building approximately 4m long and 3m wide constructed of roughly coursed, un-bonded, local stone. The building had a chimney constructed within the thickness of its northern wall and a funnel shaped entranceway within its southern elevation. The entire structure had been cut into the counterscarp bank of Little Doward Hill-fort. Overtime the rear, (northern) wall of the structure had started to fail and was in danger of collapse.
