Summary
Small three-sided structure east of Hound Tor recorded during fieldwork in 1995. The structure is square and measures 2.0m internally with coursed boulder walls 0.8m wide and 1.2m high. The interior is levelled into the moderate slope and open to the W. Its function is unclear, though the relatively well preserved state would indicate a post-medieval origin. It does not appear to overlie any earlier feature.
