An enclosed stone hut circle settlement, round cairn, pillow mound and tinworking earthworks 820m WSW of Nun's Cross is a complex Bronze Age and medieval archaeological site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises multiple elements of different periods, including a prehistoric round cairn and stone-built hut circles characteristic of Bronze Age settlement patterns, alongside later medieval tinworking remains and a pillow mound indicating post-medieval activity. The hut circles demonstrate domestic occupation during the Bronze Age, whilst the tinworking earthworks reflect the intensive exploitation of Dartmoor's mineral resources during the medieval period. The concentration of features across different periods provides evidence of sustained human use of this moorland location from prehistory through the medieval era.
