Hut circle settlement near Great Nodden

This scheduled monument comprises a cluster of stone hut circles, the remains of a settlement that likely dates to the Bronze Age. The site sits on Dartmoor's open moorland, where communities built these circular dwellings over three thousand years ago. The stone foundations are still visible today, scattered across the slope and offering a tangible connection to the people who lived and worked this part of the moor in prehistory.

The hut circles would have served as homes for pastoral communities managing livestock on the high moor. Visiting the site involves walking across typical Dartmoor terrain, and the remains reward careful observation. This is one of many such settlements across Dartmoor, a landscape shaped by human activity long before the modern commons took their present form.
