This scheduled monument comprises a cluster of hut circles set on the moorland southeast of Brisworthy. The remains belong to the Bronze Age, when families lived on Dartmoor in small, stone-built round dwellings. The hut circles are visible as low stone foundations and rubble spreads, though they require familiarity with moorland archaeology to read clearly among the heather and grass.
The settlement sits within the broader landscape of Dartmoor's prehistoric remains, where communities exploited the open moor for grazing and resources. Walking here places you among the everyday traces of Bronze Age life, part of a pattern of occupation that shaped the moor thousands of years ago.
