Enclosure near Broad Hole

Grid ref: SX 5913 7837

On walking routes: The Lichway

This scheduled monument comprises the traces of a prehistoric settlement, likely dating to the Bronze Age when Dartmoor's upland was more densely inhabited. The site consists of an enclosure and an associated stone hut circle, visible as earthwork remains in the moorland landscape.

Today the site is modest and requires patience to read in the turf and stone, but it speaks to a time when families lived and worked at this altitude on the moor. It sits within the wider scatter of Bronze Age structures across Dartmoor, part of a landscape shaped by people over millennia.
