Visited in 1992. Hut circle situated within a large enclosure. It is terraced into the hillslope and is of the simple plan and double orthostat walling type. The interior measures 6 metres in diameter and is defined by a 1.8 metres wide wall standing up to 0.8 metres high. The doorway faces south and is lined by slabs on both sides. A slight hollow in the quadrant of the building is probably the site of a partial excavation carried out by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee in 1893. This building is situated on the southern edge of an open area surrounded by a ring of five stone hut circles.
