Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1002621) describes two stone hut circles on the western slopes of Top Tor, near the sources of several tributaries of the East Webburn River. The scheduling falls in two areas. Each hut has a circular inside up to 8.5 metres across, defined by upright-stone walls up to 2.5 metres wide and 1.2 metres high. Other remains close by are not part of the scheduling, because they have not been formally assessed. It lies in the parish of Widecombe in the Moor, about 0.5 km north of Hollow Tor and 1 km south-east of Bonehill.
