Proximity to barrows may suggest that this feature is a ring cairn rather than a hut circle. Requires field visit to clarify position and identification (horner).

SMR records a small ring bank to left of farm access track, near barrows and trig-point. Circa 18 metres diameter with entrance to west. Interpreted as hut circle, or more likely a ring-cairn (due to proximity of barrows). Six raised pebble ridges also nearby. Area under dense gorse up to 0.75 metres high. No features could be located during field survey.

Exeter Archaeology, 2007, East Devon Access Land Archaeological Survey 2007, 2, Site No. 1914 (Archive - Survey). SDV351571.

SMR records a small ring bank to left of farm access track, near barrows and trig point. Circa 18 metres diameter with entrance to west. Interpreted as a hut circle or more likely a ring cairn. Raised pebble ridges also nearby. In 2002, area was under dense gorse.

No features could be located. Area still under dense gorse.

Appears to be under no threat from foot traffic. Protection during vegetation clearance. Features not visible but possible interpretation as one of a group of barrows in the area.
