(11/10/1991) SX 66538607. Four hut circles and several small enclosures on the moderate SE-facing slope of Chagford Common 200 metres south of Castor Rock. The huts, 1-4 in the accompanying tabulation, vary in diameter from 4.7 metres to 6.3 metres. One (3) has a well-defined entrance in its south-south-east side. Three huts (1-3) are D-shaped, the flat sides, on the south-west, formed by a reave. The remaining hut (4) has suffered a great deal of disturbance, its original shape is impossible to determine. The associated enclosures vary in size between 0.01 hecatres and 0.6 hectares. These huts and fields form part of a well-developed parallel reave system. A further table of information on the hut circles is held in the NRHE archive.
