To the south of the Drizzlecombe sites, on a south-eastern facing slopes of Eastern Tor, can be found the remains of the Eastern Tor ancient settlement.

As it is very close to Ditsworty Warren house, much of it has been changed and modified over the years. The original settlement seems to have consisted of five separate enclosures, each containing several huts, and other walls and paddocks.

Update September 2019: This settlement is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Eastern Tor Settlement.

It is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 438641, which tells us this small prehistoric enclosure covers roughly 0.2 hectares; its western and northern walls have been disturbed by more recent wall building and "inside are the remains of two hut circles".

The Devon and Dartmoor HER also includes an entry for this site; see MDV4023 (Prehistoric Settlement to the east of Eastern Tor, Sheepstor), and it is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1010652.
