Looks like a prehistoric roof. Or may the hut of a hermit?

It wasnt the easiest one to find,  the roof internal vs external through me for a while.    At first I thought it was a beehive hut.

You've possibly read by now that it was built in 2013 by a team of archaeologists from Croatia, at the time of their entry into the European Union.  Drystone walling and building is common there too,

What confused me was from the outside the hut has a point roof,  but inside it looks like a slab.

Yes. Common design when no timber is available. This one is much smaller, just a one-room shelter.
But it has a bit of historical significance

DAFlys has figured it out first TT.
More pictures on the thread now
It's a stone hut built by Croatian craftsmen, here in Derbyshire UK. Using a building method common in both countries back in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Pollution, possibly. You can see from my shot how close it is to the trunk road. (Spot the truck)
