Summary
A possible prehistoric enclosure and hut circle on the lower north-western flank of Gutter Tor. The enclosure is marked by a slight turf ring 11m north-south by 14m and the hut, adjoining the southern side of the enclosure by a level platform 4.5m in diameter. The stone element to this site appears to have been completely removed to furnish post medieval field boundaries to the north of the Sheepstor road.
