Enclosure near Trowlesworthy Warren House

Grid ref: SX 5717 6470

This scheduled monument sits on the moorland east of Trowlesworthy Warren House and comprises the remains of a Bronze Age settlement. The site includes a stone hut circle, an enclosure, a rectangular building and a distinctive V-shaped gully, all of which speak to patterns of habitation and land use on Dartmoor in prehistoric times.

Visitors walking this part of the moor will find earthworks and stone foundations scattered across open ground. The structures here reflect how communities adapted to Dartmoor's exposed landscape, using the available stone and marking their territory with banks and ditches. The site sits within the broader archaeological narrative of Bronze Age settlement that shaped much of central Dartmoor.
