Full description
Robinson, R., 1978, Woolholes enclosed hut groups (Dockwell Ridge) (Worksheet). SDV145074.
Two meters outside the pound walls to the north-west is at least one hut circle. Robinson describes two circles at this location, one ‘unusually’ small (2.0 meters in diameter) and another adjoining the first closely to the north-west (5.0 meters in diameter).
Butler, J., 1993, Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities: Volume Four - The South-East, 109-110, Map 57, Figure 57.9 (Monograph). SDV337765.
Hut Circle '2' with an adjoining annex to the east outside Enclosure 'A' at 'Dockwell Ridge Enclosures'.
Richards, A. F., 2010, Untitled Source (Personal Comment). SDV346046.
It seems likely that Butler is correct in thinking this feature is one hut circle with an extension, or annex, rather than two individual features, as Robinson suggests. Therefore only one record has been created.
