An enclosure containing one stone hut circle 460m west of Cross Gate
Devon
This scheduled monument consists of a single stone hut circle set within an enclosure on Dartmoor's open moorland. The site dates to the Bronze Age, when such structures formed part of the scattered settlement pattern across the moor. The stone foundations and earthwork boundaries visible today offer a glimpse into how people lived and organised their domestic space in prehistoric times.
Visitors walking this part of Dartmoor will find themselves among typical moorland terrain, with the low stone remains set into the landscape. The enclosure suggests deliberate land use and possibly animal management alongside domestic occupation. Like many Bronze Age sites on Dartmoor, it speaks to a period when the moor supported more extensive settlement than in later centuries.
