Three stone hut circles 340m west of Hen Tor forming part of a partially enclosed stone hut circle settlement
Devon
Three stone hut circles and their surrounding settlement remain visible on the moorland west of Hen Tor, relics of the Bronze Age when Dartmoor supported a thriving population. The foundations and walls of these circular dwellings survive as low stone banks, arranged within a partially enclosed boundary that speaks of community and shared grazing land.
Walking here today, you move through a landscape shaped by its ancient inhabitants. These hut circles are not isolated finds but part of a wider settlement pattern visible across Dartmoor, where families built stone homes, farmed stock, and maintained the open moorland we see today. The site is a reminder that Dartmoor's seemingly empty expanses were once homes.
