Visited in 1992. This stone hut circle is situated within a large enclosure. It is terraced into the hillslope and is of the simple plan and coursed walling type. The interior measures 6 metres in diameter and is defined by a 2.5 metres wide wall standing up to 0.7 metres high. The doorway faces south and is lined on both sides with slabs. A paved floor is visible within the entrance area and a possible bench measuring 3 metres by 2 metres survives against the north wall. An old excavation trench in the south-west quadrant is the result of a partial excavation carried out by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee in 1893. This building forms part of a cluster of stone hut circles situated around the northern edge of the large enclosure.
