Stone hut circle 210m south of the Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar on Cox Tor
Devon
This hut circle lies on the slopes of Cox Tor in the heart of Dartmoor, one of many Bronze Age settlements scattered across the high ground. The circular stone foundation marks where a dwelling once stood, its walls built from the granite that still rises around it. These structures typically housed a single family or small group, part of communities that grazed livestock and farmed the moor during the Bronze Age.
Today the ruins form part of the archaeological landscape that makes Dartmoor remarkable. Visiting means walking the same ground as Bronze Age farmers and understanding how people adapted to life on exposed moorland thousands of years ago. The site sits within a wider pattern of ancient settlement, field systems and ceremonial monuments that speak to Dartmoor's deep human history.
