Lidar data appears to show a circular earthwork / stone ring here identified as a possible hut circle. Aerial photographic evidence supports this identification, although nothing was recorded by the 1985 Dartmoor Aerial Photograph Project (APP) here. Possible field boundaries or remains of an enclosure also noted to the south-west of the site of the potential hut.
