Hut circle settlement near Ger Tor

This scheduled monument consists of the earthwork remains of a Bronze Age settlement: a cluster of stone hut circles with associated field boundaries and enclosures spread across the moorland. The hut circles are the foundations of roundhouses, their stone walls now reduced to low banks and rings in the turf. The surrounding enclosures suggest pastoral farming, with stock managed within defined spaces across the unforgiving terrain.

Visiting the site means walking into a living palimpsest of Dartmoor's deep past. The hut circles sit on open moor with few modern intrusions, allowing visitors to read the landscape as Bronze Age people shaped it. The site forms part of the dense clustering of prehistoric remains that makes this corner of Dartmoor an open-air archive of ancient life on the high ground.
