Within are several hut circles clearly to be seen, one or two with remains of doorways, and at least one with an external extra room.
This bronze age village deserves more time to explore than I had here, which was not long.
Update September 2019: This pound is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entries for the Erme Pound and the Upper Erme Row & Cairn Circle.
The pound is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 441626 and has a record on the Devon and Dartmoor HER - see MDV5110 (Erme Pound, Harford).
This monument is also scheduled as Histric England List ID 1002604 (Hut circles in Erme Pound E of River Erme).
