Full description
Butler, J., 1993, Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities: Volume Four - The South-East, 110-11, Map 57, Figure 57.10 (Monograph). SDV337765.
Enclosure 'B' at 'Yalland Enclosures' has been damaged by two field walls. Little remains of the moorside portion wth a small hut of 2.5 metres diameter. The part within the field is better preserved and includes a hut of 4.8 metres diameter built onto the south-east corner. An arc of stones to the north of it was also probably a hut. Another hut circle of 4.0 metres diameter lies a short distance to the east and between them a clearance cairn shows the possible fate of others.
