Newman, P., 1999, 2002, Haytor Down, Ilsington, Devon (Revised), 10, Figure 2 (Report - Survey). SDV346395.

(30/03/1999) Centred SX 7656 7666. Remains of enclosure walls and two hut circles associated with the Haytor and Saddle Tor parallel reave system (SX 77 NE 31). The enclosure walls, constructed from granite and now heavily turf-covered, are poorly preserved and amorphous but appear to be associated to an E to W reave. Both huts are attached to enclosure walls.
SX 7657 7670. Internal diameter of 7m with walls standing up to 1m high and spread to 3m. Several orthostats survive but no visible entrance. The hut is incorporated into small enclosure on the N side. For plan see RCHME 1999.
