Summary
Substantial flat-bottomed scoop, 7 metres by 5 metres by 1.6 metres deep. This may represent a second target and it is interesting to note that the line of distance marker stones lead directly to this hollow rather than the nearby target.

Full description
Gerrard, S., 1998, Hart Tor Prehistoric Settlement (Article in Serial). SDV254969.
Immediately south-south-east of an upright stone standing 2.4 metres from the target pit, which is thought to have formed part of a communications system, is a substantial flat-bottomed scoop, 7 metres by 5 metres by 1.6 metres deep. This may represent a second target and it is interesting to note that the line of distance marker stones lead directly to this hollow rather than the nearby target.
