<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;"><div>Dear Heather,<br>> hullan<br>In Dutch we call it a 'ringmuur',
LS-Stell.: ringmure, (of)weermure, dwingelmure, schildmure; Deutsch: ringmauer;
Old-Deutsch: rinckmaur, ringkmawren, ringmûren.<br>About 5 km. from my
place: <a href="http://www.propagare.eu/Fotopresentatie_Oldeberkoop.htm" target="_blank">http://www.propagare.eu/Fotopresentatie_Oldeberkoop.htm</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>If your 'hovel' comes from the same context it could be a (litle?)
construction of bricks on/in that 'ringmuur' used as a port/dooropening, a guard
shack or something like that. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>A 'hovel' - in my opinion - has etymologically nothing to do with 'hole'
(Deutsch: höhle). Your 'hole' comes from 'heul' with could be a bow (builded
bridge) of stones/rocks. A hole in Dutch: hol(te), gat (in de grond); think of
playing golf: hole in one. Also the name Holland (The Netherlands; Pays Bas:
Laag Land, Low Land) could possible come from your 'hole': aflopend land. But
beware: een 'hol' kan ook een hoogte betreffen! </div>
The origin of 'hall' is a covered building of stones/rocks (old-LS: halla).
<br>I hope this will help you a bit, again.<br>Mit een vrundelike groet uut
Stellingwarf,<br>Piet Bult</div>
