Within the enclosure there are 11 stone built round houses, traces of lynchets and plots defined by low rubble walls and a later tinners building. Attached to the outer face of the enclosure on the south east side is a small field-plot. All of the round houses were examined by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee in 1896. This work recovered charcoal, pot boilers, rubbing stones, flint scrapers and pottery. The site forms part of an extensive Scheduled Ancient Monument.
