Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1013058) describes two hut circles on a west-facing slope at the west end of Lee Moor, north of Spanish Lake. They are built of earth and stone and are 5 and 4.5 metres across, with walls 1 metre thick and 0.5 metres high and entrances to the west and north-west respectively. The larger, eastern hut has traces of a bank leading from its north-east side and curving back towards the other. There are two cairns close by and other cairns and occupation sites a few hundred metres north. It lies in the parish of Shaugh Prior, about 0.7 km east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor.
