Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1002526) describes a stone hut circle on a south-west-facing slope overlooking the valley of Broadall Lake. The hut has an inner area 6.6 metres across, surrounded by a double upright-stone wall up to 2 metres wide and 0.5 metres high on average. A gap in the north side is thought unlikely to be an original entrance. Other remains nearby, some scheduled and some not, are outside this scheduling. It lies in the parish of Cornwood, about 1.4 km north-east of Rook Tor and 3 km north of Cornwood.
