Visited in 1992. Hut circle is situated within a large enclosure. It is terraced into the hillslope and is of the simple plan and double orthostat walling type. The interior measures 8 metres in diameter and is defined by a 2 metres wide wall standing up to 0.8 metres high. A 0.2 metres high rubble partition wall within the building has created an oval room against the north wall that measures 4 etres long by 2 metres wide. A slight hollow in the southern quadrant of the building is probably the site of a partial excavation carried out by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee in 1893. This building is situated on the eastern edge of an open area surrounded by a ring of five stone hut circles.
