Full description
Belsey, P. M., 1983 - 1987, Buckland In The Moor Parish Checklist (Un-published). SDV345904.
(25/1/1985) Circular bank roughly 1 metre wide by 0.30 metres high, very ill-defined on the south side, containing a pit 1 metre deep with deeper hole, possibly animal burrow, in the centre. This site is well outside the pre-historic settlements on Buckland Common, situated on the south-west facing slope of the hill, not the ridge and there are no other obvious mine workings nearby.

Hut circle shown on project map overlay, but not discussed.
