A buildings survey was carried out by the Babtie Group on a hop-pickers hut as part of archaeological works preparatory to the A21 Lamberhurst bypass in 2002.The hut (Hut 1) is 8.4m long, 3.1m wide .and 2.2m high. Construction was of machine-sawn timber to build a frame with machine-sawn boards for the walls. The roof was of corrugated iron and there were timber lintels over the dooors and windows. There were three rooms in series. Room 1 has a window with iron frame. A raised timber bed was located on one side of the room. Room 2 had a small light window with an aluminium frame and a shelf. Fibre-glass board has been used on three walls and traces of wallpaper could be seen. Room 3 had a single light window, a shelf and the door.

The hut was not indicated on the 1899 Ordnance Survey map but does feature on the 3rd edition map in 1909 (1).
