Three stone hut circles 780m SSW of Venford Reservoir dam
Devon
Three stone hut circles occupy this moorland site south-west of Venford Reservoir. They are Bronze Age in origin, likely dating from the second millennium BC, when scattered farming communities inhabited Dartmoor's higher ground. The circular stone foundations, partially buried and weathered by centuries of exposure, mark the remains of domestic dwellings.
Today the site sits on open moor, characterised by heather, grass and granite outcrops. For visitors walking in this area, the hut circles offer a tangible connection to ancient Dartmoor life and the long human history of the landscape. They form part of a wider pattern of Bronze Age settlement across the moor, visible to those who know where to look.
