Full description
Baring Gould, S., 1898, Fifth Report of the Dartmoor Exploration Committee, 99 (Article in Serial). SDV337066.
Berry Field, Huccaby. Contains the remains of a small 'pound' within which (at the eastern end) was a heap of stones utilised by the road builders for stone. When they reported pottery to the Dartmoor Exploration Committee, this was investigated. The remains of a hut circle was found underneath the stone which yielded charcoal, pot boilers, a red grit rubber stone, seven cooking stones, the rim of a small shallow vessel and a large sherd which formed part of the mouth of a handmade cooking pot. The paste and ornamentation were of the usual type.

(09/06/1980) Worth says (1898) the find was made by roadmenders and his siting information implies that the 'field' or pound lay between SX 650743 and SX 665734. An examination of these fields revealed no trace of a hut circle or pound.

(22/08/1984). This site is probably identical to either SX67SE/56 or SX67SE/165, as both have Berry fieldnames on the tithe apportionment.
