The buildings were miner's cottages. Coal mining was recorded at Amesbury in 1701. The pit closed in the 19th century. Cross the stile and follow the path straight ahead which joins a lane. Walk for half a mile until you join a T-junction with Prior's Hill. On the way to Prior's Hill, you can see the remains of spoil heaps in the fields on the left. Turn left and walk up Prior's Hill. After 150 yards there is a stile on the right hand side.
