Full description
Royal Commission for the Historical Monuments of England, 1993-1998, Dartmoor Royal Forest Project (Report - Survey). SDV346608.
A settlement comprising two hut circles and a possible third together with at least 3 hectares of associated fields, centred at SX 65477462, on a moderate, south-west facing slope within Brimpts Newtake. The area is predominantly rough grassland with patches of heather, bracken and gorse.
(A) SX 6547 7462 Hut circle with internal diameter of 6.1 metres north-south by 6.5 metres east-west defined by massive walls averaging 3.3 metres wide. The internal face averages 0.6 metres high and is revetted on the north-west and north-eastern arcs by large edging slabs. Externally the walls appear very stoney and average 0.7 metres high, although on the south-west they reach 1.2 metres. An entrance on the south gives way to a featureless interior which is terraced into the slope on the north and east.
The Brimpts Mine Leat (MDV25984) just clips the eastern edge of the hut circle and has damaged the outer face of the walling.
