Hut circle 130m east of Leeden Tor

This stone hut circle stands on moorland east of Leeden Tor as one element of a larger prehistoric settlement. The circular stone foundations, built from granite, mark the footprint of a dwelling that once sheltered Bronze Age inhabitants of Dartmoor. Such hut circles cluster across the moor, revealing how people lived and farmed on these high slopes in ancient times.

Visiting the site today, you walk among low stone walls and rough moorland grass. The Bronze Age presence here is tangible but quiet, requiring patience to read the landscape. The scheduled monument status protects this fragile record of Dartmoor's deep past, part of the archaeological wealth that makes the moor essential to understanding early Britain.
