Three stone hut circles situated west of the enclosed stone hut circle settlement 260m north of Deadlake Foot

Devon

Three stone hut circles stand west of a more substantial enclosed stone hut circle settlement, together forming a scattered Bronze Age settlement in this part of Dartmoor. The huts are typical of prehistoric domestic structures found across the moor, their stone foundations revealing the enduring footprint of ancient communities who built and rebuilt on these open moorland slopes.

Today the site survives as earthwork remains in the moorland landscape. These fragments speak to patterns of settlement and land use that shaped Dartmoor over thousands of years. The wider context of nearby enclosed settlements suggests this was an area of sustained human activity in prehistory, woven into the broader story of Bronze Age life on the high moor.
