Let $p$ be a prime and suppose that $K/F$ is a cyclic extension of
degree $p^n$ with group $G$. Let $J$ be the $\mathbb{F}_p G$-module
$K^\times/K^{\times p}$ of $p$th-power classes. In our previous
paper we established precise conditions for $J$ to contain an
indecomposable direct summand of dimension not a power of $p$. At
most one such summand exists, and its dimension must be $p^i+1$ for
some $0\le i
