Enclosures and hut circles at Petre's Pits Bottom. The southern enclosure is D-shaped with three sides defined by substantial walls up to 1.8m wide and 1m high and the fourth side formed by a steep scarp slope which was probably the result of tin working activity. A later drystone oval pound was inserted on the south side

A three-sided enclosure with an area of approximately 0.15 hectares. On the south side of the interior is a small rectangular structure built on to the main enclosure wall; its wall, consisting of roughly-heaped boulders, is 1.0 metre thick and 0.8 metres in height. The main structure is
evidently prehistoric but the rectangular building could be of Medieval or later origin.
