Two partially enclosed stone hut circle settlements sit on the eastern slope of Oke Tor, their low stone walls still visible among the moorland vegetation. These structures date to the Bronze Age, when communities built substantial homes from stone across Dartmoor's high ground. A round cairn stands nearby, likely contemporary with the settlements and possibly marking a burial or significant place.
Today the site offers a glimpse into how people lived on the moor thousands of years ago, adapting to exposed terrain and making use of stone readily to hand. The setting rewards careful looking; the remains merge with the landscape, and walking here connects you to the long history of human settlement that shaped Dartmoor.
