It is 9 metres across, with walls 1 metre thick and 0.6 metres high and a probable entrance to the south-east. It lies south of an enclosure and other hut circles. It lies in the parish of Cornwood, about 1.1 km north of Rook Tor and 3 km north of Cornwood.

Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going.
