One of the stone roundhouses, or hut circles, on Teigncombe Tor, on the slope below Kestor and above the hamlet of Teigncombe. Several stand close together here: Dartefacts records them as the Teigncombe Tor hut circle cluster.
About 270 metres to the south-east, on private land, is a roundhouse of the same kind that was excavated from 1999 to 2005. Radiocarbon dates from that house place its first occupation between about 1500 and 1230 BC, in the Middle Bronze Age, and it was lived in again in the Early Iron Age. The dig was set up to measure how bracken roots disturb buried remains. The report, edited by Sandy Gerrard, is linked below.
