Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1012623) describes a stone hut circle, one of several near the enclosures south of Lee Moor. They lie south of the Cholwich Town contour reave, east of the Cross Dyke reave and near several cairns. This hut circle is south-west of the western enclosure and is 6 metres across, with walls 1 metre thick and 0.4 metres high. It lies in the parish of Shaugh Prior, about 1.1 km south-east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor and 3.1 km north-east of Wotter.
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. We would encourage you to subscribe.
