Abstract: For $ k \geq 2$, we construct finite $ {\mathbb{Z}}/2{\mathbb{Z}}$-CW complexes with one $ {\mathbb{Z}}/2{\mathbb{Z}}$-cell in dimensions 0, $ 1$ and $ k+1$. Using a theorem of Bruce Hughes, we show that these complexes are not homotopically stratified by orbit type in the sense of Quinn.
