Prehistoric round houses also are known as hut circles. They are made of upright granite slabs or of ‘drystone’ walling, with a gap for the entrance. They can be up to 1m high and 3-10m in diameter. They had a conical roof of wood and turf or thatch. These houses were very often isolated but usually found in groups over a hillside.
In this settlement there are many round houses on the upper edge of the large clitter of Watern Oke over looking the Tavy.

Check firing times as the waymark is within the Willsworthy Range.
