Full description
Butler, J., 1991, Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities: Volume One - The East, Map 20, 4, pg 146-7 (Monograph). SDV299725.
Butler depicts and describes this enclosure, which is similar to Berry Pound (MDV8754) to the north but less well documented. This enclosure covers 0.4 hectares and the remains of one hut circle can still be seen, attached to the north-east wall. Built on a steep gradient, the entrance is no longer visible but was probably on the downhill side of the pound.
