Agglomerated enclosure with hut circles near Ditsworthy Clam

This scheduled monument preserves the remains of an agglomerated enclosure with associated hut circles, typical of Bronze Age settlement patterns on Dartmoor. The site lies on sloping ground south-west of Ditsworthy Clam, part of the dense archaeological landscape that characterizes this corner of the moor. The enclosure and hut circles together suggest a community settlement rather than a single dwelling, grouped for defence or social cohesion.

Visiting today, you will find earthworks that have survived centuries of moorland use. The site offers insight into how people lived on Dartmoor in prehistory, adapting to the high ground and organizing themselves in family or clan groups. It sits within a wider pattern of Bronze Age remains across the moor, many still visible to those who know where to look.
