Huccaby Ring
Devon
Huccaby Ring is a scheduled monument and a modest but recognisable Iron Age hillfort, located on the open moor. Its name describes its form: a ring of earth and stone marking a defended settlement from prehistory. The site consists of a circular bank and outer ditch, features typical of hillforts across Dartmoor and the Southwest, though often reduced by time and cultivation.
Today the earthwork is subtle but traceable on the ground, best appreciated by those who know what to look for. It stands as evidence of early settlement patterns on Dartmoor, when defended homesteads served scattered farming communities. Visiting the site means walking the moor itself, understanding how these ancient people chose their ground and how the landscape has changed and endured since their time.
