The range of huts first appears on maps from the 1930s, although the date of construction could have been earlier. They are recorded on aerial photography taken in 1946 as part of a group of similar buildings with entrances facing into the field. Areas of parching in the field immediately outside the huts’ doorways can be seen, perhaps suggesting recent activity such as cooking or washing, as well as a trackway leading from the huts into adjacent hop gardens immediately to the north.

The huts survive as a long rectangular building divided into ten sections, each roughly 2.8m wide, with moveable interior divisions of corrugated iron. These internal divisions create rooms roughly 3m deep by 2.8m wide, dimensions very similar to those of known 19th and 20th century hoppers’ huts such as the Listed examples at Rock Farm, Nettlestead (NHLE 1464856). The central section of the building is brick walled and appears to have had a large vent or chimney; this area may have served as a kitchen or wash-house and reinforces the likelihood that the building regularly accommodated hop-pickers.

The Marden History Group has a photo c.1949 that shows the huts and shows that the profile of the huts' corrugated iron roof is unchanged, including a prominent brick ridge in the middle.

A 1949 article in Farming Families had an account from someone who had visited for hop-picking since 1939.
