Partially enclosed hut circle settlement near Horn's Cross

This scheduled monument preserves the remains of a prehistoric settlement on Dartmoor, consisting of stone hut circles that date to the Bronze Age. The structures are partially enclosed within a larger boundary, suggesting a organised community space. Such settlements are common across Dartmoor's high ground, marking places where people established more permanent or semi-permanent occupation during the second millennium BC.

Today the site sits within the open moorland landscape west of Horn's Cross. The stone circles and enclosing banks are visible to those who know where to look, though vegetation and weathering have softened their outlines. Visiting requires walking across open country and some familiarity with reading the moor. The site belongs to a broader pattern of Bronze Age settlement across Dartmoor that shaped the landscape we see today.
