Enclosure and stone hut circle 80m north of White Tor fort
Devon
This Bronze Age settlement lies on open moorland north of White Tor fort, comprising a stone hut circle and associated enclosure. The hut circle represents the domestic core of a household that occupied this exposed Dartmoor location over three thousand years ago, while the enclosure likely served to manage livestock or define the working space around the dwelling.
Today the site appears as low stone foundations and earthworks, visible to those who know where to look among the rough moorland grass and bracken. It forms part of a broader pattern of prehistoric settlement across Dartmoor, evidence of how people adapted to upland life in the Bronze Age. The site sits within the wider archaeological landscape around White Tor, where multiple periods of human activity have left their marks on the moor.
