A cluster of five stone hut circles and associated boundary wall situated within a large enclosure 30m north-east of Ger Tor
Devon
This cluster of five stone hut circles represents a Bronze Age settlement on Dartmoor. The structures sit within a large enclosure bounded by a stone wall, creating a distinct archaeological landscape that speaks to patterns of habitation and land use on the moor thousands of years ago. Such settlements offer insight into how communities organised their domestic and pastoral activities across Dartmoor's open terrain.
Today the hut circles are visible as low stone rings set into the moorland. The surrounding wall and enclosure are still traceable on the ground, forming part of the wider prehistoric field system that characterises this part of central Dartmoor. The site lies close to Ger Tor and rewards careful fieldwork to appreciate its layout and position within the ancient landscape.
