Enclosed stone hut circle settlement 700m south of Leeden Tor
Devon
This scheduled monument consists of a cluster of stone hut circles, the remains of a prehistoric settlement that once housed families and their livestock on Dartmoor. The site likely dates to the Bronze Age, when the high moorland was more extensively farmed and occupied than it is today. The stone foundations and circular floor plans are still visible in the landscape, evidence of how people adapted to life on the exposed moor centuries ago.
Visitors walking south from Leeden Tor will find scattered stones marking the hut positions across the moorland. The site sits in open country with views across Dartmoor, and like many such settlements it speaks to the moor's long history of habitation and land use. Standing among these ancient foundations gives a tangible sense of continuity and the way the landscape itself holds the traces of past lives.
