Summary
Not identified by Butler or Gerrard, this hut was discovered in 2017 following burning on Hound Tor Down. A small and much ruined hut circle sits near the foot of a tumbled outcrop. Although seven edge-set slabs remain probably in situ, very little other stone has survived above the turf, other than a few small displaced examples. The average diameter of the surviving wall is 4 metres.
