A cluster of five stone hut circles situated within a large enclosure 470m north-east of Ger Tor
Devon
This scheduled monument comprises a cluster of five stone hut circles lying within a substantial enclosure on open moorland. The huts themselves show the characteristic circular stone foundations of Bronze Age domestic structures, and their grouping within a larger defended boundary suggests a small settled community from the prehistoric period. The enclosure walls, though now often low and turf-covered, would once have provided protection and defined the settlement's limits.
Today the site sits within Dartmoor's characteristic landscape of heather, grass and scattered granite outcrops. The remains are modest but legible to those familiar with reading the moor. The location itself, elevated yet accessible, reflects the pattern of Bronze Age settlement across Dartmoor where communities adapted to high moorland life. Walking across this terrain, the hut circles and their enclosure offer a quiet reminder of human presence on the moor stretching back thousands of years.
