One of seven huts associated with an irregularly shaped prehistoric enclosure located on the slight shelf of an east-facing clitter-covered slope below Higher Tor.
None of the huts are very well preserved, they have either circular or oval interiors on average 3.5m across and the walling is very patchy with boulders, some upright slabs and stones. Some of the interiors are sloping downhill and most of the entrances are difficult to define.
