Brockhill Settlement, just to the North and South of the enclosed settlement of the map reference given here are two more large enclosed settlements. They all contain many huts. The Brockhill Ford cairn circle and cist is found just to the East.

This settlement is also featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks website - see their entry for the Brockhill Settlement. It is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 441408 and scheduled as part of Historic England List ID 1003828 (Hut circles and two enclosures on Dean Moor, near River Avon).
