Saddle Tor East Settlement with two pairs of huts close to the northern spring of the River Sig and separated by one of the parallel reaves. The eastern pair are associated with an incomplete enclosure which appears to predate the reaves. The southern hut of 6.8 metres diameter has two large stones on either side of the entrance. The larger eastern stone stands 1.4 metres high with a similar width and the other leans towards it separated by a stone sill. Few of the inner and outer wall slabs show above the bank.

The eastern pair of hut circles at the Prehistoric parallel reave system settlement to the east of Saddle Tor are attached to a curvilinear enclosure. This appears to be contained between two east to west reaves.
