Stone hut circle 380m north west of North Creaber
Devon
This is a prehistoric hut circle, likely from the Bronze Age, situated on the open moorland north west of North Creaber. The stone foundations mark where a small domestic dwelling once stood, part of the scattered settlement pattern that characterizes Dartmoor's upland landscape. These structures testify to a time when the moor supported a farming population living at considerable altitude.
Today the site appears as a circular arrangement of stones, often subtle and best understood when you are standing within or beside it. The setting on open moorland, with views across the plateau, conveys something of the lives lived here thousands of years ago. The hut circle is one of many such remains scattered across Dartmoor, and visiting it means walking the same ground as Bronze Age herders and farmers.
