Description
This is a pair of small shelters of uncertain purpose, located 150 metres east of the summit of Butter's Tor. They date from around the 19th century or earlier and are constructed from granite rubble. The shelters have an overall roughly circular plan with a central dividing wall that creates two semi-circular cells. There are two low entrances at the front. They are built into the side of a steeply sloping bank that rises up to Butter's Tor, which stands at 1,038 feet to the west. The exterior features a low profile with two rectangular openings serving as entrances. The roof is roughly constructed from corbelled granite rubble, and the interior has an earth floor. It is possible that these structures were used as goose houses and were associated with a now-derelict farm to the south.
