Enclosure near Sharpitor

This scheduled monument comprises a stone hut circle and surrounding enclosure forming part of a larger Bronze Age settlement on the high moor north-east of Sharpitor. The site reflects the prehistoric use of Dartmoor's uplands, when communities established seasonal or permanent settlements among the granite landscape.

Visitors today will find the remains of stone foundations and walls that speak to over three thousand years of moorland history. The settlement sits within the broader pattern of Bronze Age occupation across Dartmoor, where hut circles, cairns and field systems mark an era when the moor supported pastoral communities. The site rewards careful observation and rewards those who understand the moor's deep past.
