Full description

Hut circle '3' to the south-west of King's Oven is one of several circular plots of 5 to 6 metres across levelled into the hillside which may be the remains of associated huts. This hut '3' has traces of a bank part way round the periphery.
Newman, P., 2002, Headland Warren and the Birch Tor and Vitifer Mines (Report - Survey). SDV363213.
(15/02/2002) There are no certain hut circles within the enclosure on the south-east slope of Water Hill though two parallel walls in the north-west corner could represent a later shelter with internal dimensions of very approximately 7m by 3.5m. It is unlikely to be a hut circle.
