Stone hut circle and length of boundary walling 860m south west of Venford Reservoir dam
Devon
This scheduled monument comprises a prehistoric hut circle and a substantial length of boundary walling, likely dating to the Bronze Age when Dartmoor was more densely settled than it is today. The hut circle represents a domestic dwelling, while the 860 metres of walling suggests organized land use and pastoral farming across this part of the moor.
Today the site sits in open moorland south west of Venford Reservoir, part of the wider landscape of archaeological remains that tell the story of Dartmoor's ancient inhabitants. The walling and hut foundations are visible to those who know where to look, integrated into the moorland topography and the layers of history that shape this landscape.
