Mercer, R. J., 1987, An Archaeological Field Survey of the Upper Plym Valley, Dartmoor 1982-1986, 554 (Report - Survey). SDV165948.
Vestigial unenclosed oval structure consisting of an intermittent turf-covered bank, in which few stones are visible. A few irregular stones located on the inner and outer perimeters in east and south sectors may indicate the presence of facings, though there are no clearly faced slabs. Northern and western sectors are particularly disturbed and consist of a series of hummocks. There are several gaps in the bank but none is a certain entrance. Diameter is 3.0 metres by 2.0 metres internally, 5.50 metres by 4.0 metres externally by 0.40 metres high. SX5856 6463.
