Hut circle beside the Dartmeet reave

Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1002601) describes a stone hut circle within part of the Dartmeet coaxial field system, on the northern slopes of Holne Ridge above the River Dart. It has a circular inside up to 7.3 metres across, defined by a coursed rubble wall with some very large stones, up to 1 metre wide and 1.4 metres high, with no clear entrance. On the north side the wall has clearly been repaired and built up to about 2 metres. It lies across the parishes of Dartmoor Forest and Holne, about 0.8 km west of Combestone Tor and 0.9 km south-east of Huccaby.

That seems to match Crossing's reports that tinners reused the hut as a tool store. A reave and a pair of roughly rectangular enclosures, with banks and some large stones, adjoin it and belong to the Dartmeet field system, which extends far beyond this scheduling. Tin industry remains to the north-west are scheduled separately.
