Hut circles E of the Saddle Tor
Devon
These hut circles lie on the moorland east of Saddle Tor, the remains of domestic structures built during the Bronze Age. The circular stone foundations mark where people once lived, worked and raised livestock on this upland plateau. Several circles are visible across the site, some more defined than others, scattered across the slope in a way that tells of a small community adapted to Dartmoor's harsh environment.
The site is a scheduled monument, protected for its archaeological importance. Walking here, you move through a landscape shaped by thousands of years of human presence. The hut circles sit within the wider pattern of Bronze Age settlement across Dartmoor, part of a story of early farmers and herders who made their lives on the high moor.
