Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1008073) describes two attached stone hut circles terraced into the south-east-facing slope of Conies Down Tor, part of an enclosed hut circle settlement. The larger is built of stone and earth, 3.5 metres across inside, with a wall 1 metre wide and up to 0.4 metres high. The smaller hut is attached to its north-east side, 2 metres across, with a wall 1.3 metres wide and 0.3 metres high. Both lie 30 metres west of the enclosed settlement. It lies in the parish of Dartmoor Forest, about 0.9 km south-west of Devil's Tor.
