Name: | Hut circle south-east of Horn's Cross, Holne |

Summary
Hut circle within fragments of a contemporary field system lies on the terrace above the right bank of the western tributary of the Venford Brook at the foot of Holne Ridge. The hut has been partially obscured by later clearance activity which has caused large amounts of small stone to be deposited on the walls. The hut is levelled into the slope with an internal diameter of around 4.0m. With clearance stone the walls now measure 2.0m wide and 0.8m high. There is no indication as to the position of the entrance. Three short lengths of low stoney bank, probably belonging to a former field system, lie in the immediate area.
