One of a group of 13 hut circles and enclosure, south of Leeden Tor.
Visited 24/8/1950 (no grid reference; details for this seems to be missing from the transcribed Ordnance Survey card).
Hut N. There are a number of stones scattered over this area, but they are quite indistinguishable from the masses of other stones in the vicinity. The amount of stone would suggest that there was a hut circle here.
