Full description
Butler, J., 1993, Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities: Volume Four - The South-East, 156, Map 57, Figure 57.23 (Monograph). SDV337765.
Enclosure 'B' at 'Biller's Pound' has lost much of the perimeter wall in the disturbed ground alongside a tinners' gully. Its remains and the foundations of a small building (Hut Circle '1' at 3.4 metres diameter) are slight with mostly a single line of slabs set in a low bank and perhaps it had already become redundant in Bronze Age times. Enclosure 'B' is shown as a U-shaped feature with the hut circle attached to the exterior of the southern wall.
