A stone hut circle 650m east of Merrivale Bridge forming part of a partially enclosed stone hut circle settlement
Devon
This scheduled monument is a stone hut circle forming part of a partially enclosed settlement, likely dating to the Bronze Age when Dartmoor supported scattered communities of herders and farmers. The circular stone foundations are typical of domestic structures from this period, built to be sturdy against the moor's exposed weather.
Today the site sits within the open moorland landscape east of Merrivale Bridge, offering a tangible connection to thousands of years of human habitation on Dartmoor. The remains are visible to those who know where to look, part of the wider archaeological evidence that shows how people once lived and worked across these high granite plateaus.
