To the south of the collection is a large circular pound with several huts incorporated into the walls.
Update September 2019: This settlement is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Dry Lake North Enclosed Settlement.
The settlement is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 442196, which tells us this sub-circular settlement measures 65m by 50m and covers 0.3hectares, lying on a moderate, well-drained, clitter free, south west facing slope. The Devon and Dartmoor HER also includes an entry for this site; see MDV4295 (Settlement 200m north-west of Dry Lake).
