An agglomerated enclosure and two stone hut circles 580m west of Laughter Hole Farm

Devon

This scheduled monument comprises two stone hut circles and an agglomerated enclosure, likely dating to the Bronze Age. The hut circles are the remains of domestic structures, their stone foundations still visible on the moorland, while the enclosure may have served for livestock or other settlement purposes. Together they form a coherent group that speaks to how people lived and worked on Dartmoor in prehistory.

The site sits on open moorland west of Laughter Hole Farm, characteristic terrain where Bronze Age communities established their settlements. Visitors will find low stone foundations and earthworks defining the hut circles and enclosure. Like many such sites across Dartmoor, it offers insight into the moor's ancient occupation and the enduring relationship between its people and this high granite landscape.
