Stone hut circle 370m north-east of Sharpitor forming part of a stone hut circle settlement
Devon
This is one of several stone hut circles that make up a Bronze Age settlement on Dartmoor's high ground. The circular ruins mark the footprints of ancient roundhouses, their stone walls now low but still traceable across the moorland. These settlements suggest pastoral communities living and herding on the moor during the Bronze Age, adapting to Dartmoor's exposed terrain and climate.
Visiting today, you will find the remains among heather and grass, with the wider landscape of the moor opening out around you. The site sits within a larger pattern of prehistoric settlement that characterises this part of Dartmoor, offering a tangible connection to thousands of years of human occupation on the high ground.
