Stone hut circle settlement 320m north east of Crockern

Devon

This scheduled monument comprises the archaeological remains of a prehistoric hut circle settlement, likely dating to the Bronze Age. The site sits on moorland northeast of Crockern and consists of the stone foundations of roundhouses and associated structures typical of upland Dartmoor settlement from this period. Such clusters reveal how communities organized their domestic and pastoral lives across the moor over millennia.

Today the site appears as low stone walls and circular ground plans, best visible in certain light and seasons. It forms part of the wider pattern of Bronze Age occupation across Dartmoor, where similar settlements hint at a landscape far more densely inhabited than the wild moor of later centuries. Walking this area, you encounter the physical traces of people who built, farmed and lived here thousands of years ago.
