Full description
Probert, S. A. J. + Fletcher, M. J., 2002, Plym Valley survey (Report - Survey). SDV350782.
(31/07/2002) Centred SX 59546577. The fragmentary remains of a number of prehistoric enclosures some 450m S of Shavercombe Tor.
The low stony banks represent the remains of at least two enclosures with no evidence to suggest the former presence of associated hut circles. These feature have probably been extensively robbed to furnish the medieval or later field walls immediately to the N.
