Hut circle near Roos Tor

This hut circle lies on the high moorland east of Roos Tor, a scheduled monument marking Bronze Age habitation on Dartmoor. The remains show where a roundhouse once stood, one of many such dwellings that dotted the moor during the prehistoric period when the landscape was more densely settled and farmed than it is today.

Visitors walking this part of the moor will find the low stony traces of the circular foundation in open country. It forms part of the wider story of Bronze Age life on Dartmoor, when communities built homes, field systems and burial cairns across the high ground. The site sits within the moorland itself and offers context to the moor's deep past.
