An enclosed stone hut circle settlement 940m WSW of Nun's Cross
Devon
This enclosed settlement consists of a cluster of stone hut circles dating to the Bronze Age, when Dartmoor's higher ground was more intensively farmed and inhabited. The huts would have served as homes for small family groups living from pastoral farming and stock rearing. The site sits exposed on open moorland, typical of the upland settlements that dot Dartmoor's landscape and reveal how people adapted to life on high ground in prehistory.
Visiting today, you will find low stone remains and circular foundations scattered across the moor. The site is remote and unmarked, best found by those comfortable navigating open country. Like many Dartmoor heritage sites, it speaks to the deep human history of the moor and invites quiet reflection on how the landscape has been lived in and shaped over thousands of years.
