Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1011563) describes two stone hut circles, lined up east to west, on the edge of the River Tavy flood plain at the foot of the Watern Oke hillslope. Both are terraced into the hillside, stone and earth banks round circular spaces. The western hut is 2.5 metres across inside, with a wall 1.4 metres wide and 0.5 metres high. The eastern is 2 metres across, with a wall 1.3 metres wide and 0.7 metres high and a doorway facing south-west lined with stone slabs. The flood plain south-west of them may hold more remains, but it is not scheduled because deep peat has hidden any earthworks. It lies in the parish of Dartmoor Forest, about 1.6 km north-east of Ger Tor.
