This settlement of stone hut circles lies on the high moor west of Devil's Bridge, evidence of Bronze Age occupation when Dartmoor's uplands supported farming communities. The circular stone foundations mark where roundhouses once stood, their footprints still visible among the heather and grass. These settlements were occupied over a long period, and the landscape around them shows signs of ancient field systems and cairns that tell of a time when this moorland was intensively worked.
Today the site offers no formal facilities, but stands as a quiet reminder of how people lived and worked on Dartmoor thousands of years ago. Walking here puts you in direct contact with that deep past: the stones themselves, the rolling terrain, the views across the moor. For anyone interested in prehistoric settlement, the Bronze Age period on Dartmoor, or simply in reading the landscape's older stories, this is a place worth seeking out on foot.
